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. Stories, Data Collection.

Measurable Outcome(s)

I think that our production of "An Iliad" succeeded in presenting this timeless story in a dramatic, accessible style that made it relevant to today's audience. The use of a harpist was noted to be unusually effective according to numerous viewers.
