Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Residents build connections to their own and others' cultural heritage through events and/or activities; MN folk and traditional artists/audiences are expanded; MN folk and traditional artists see an increase in demand for work. Interviews/Conversations with participants ; Interviews/Conversations with board/staff/leaders ; Surveying (paper or online)

Measurable Outcome(s)

We provided artists and students (including some who hadn?t used CAFAC before) with arts learning opportunities in a new jewelry-making program, and also responded to requests from our surrounding community (including George Floyd Square) for arts activities and access to CAFAC resources. We evaluated our progress and success by seeking feedback from teaching artists and through student class evaluations and making adaptations and improvements accordingly, including adjustments to curriculum and facility setup.
