Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Minnesotans participate in the arts because arts experiences are relevant and accessible to them. Minnesotans learn, grow, or change because they participate in quality arts experiences. Grantees change, expand, or enrich the ways they connect to their communities. Minnesotans from groups traditionally underserved by the arts or the grantee feel they have an authentic relationship to the grantee. Stories, Video-Audio Recordings, Interviews.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The work I proposed and carried out has been seen, and appreciated, by even more than I had originally thought. The project benefitted both my art and the nature center.
