Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Securing our gallery space in the Downtown Albert Lea Historic District, we are providing strategically-placed access to high-quality exhibitions for everyone. With a well-maintained gallery, we are promoting excellence within our community. In our accounting, we will show that we've met our leasehold contractual obligations. Our year-end report, which will be sent to Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council, will also clearly state that fact. Our lease will be renewed for 2017 and we will be able to continue our mission.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We were able to provide quality arts programming at no cost to an underserved area and offer increased opportunities for regional artists to exhibit and gather. We encourage the exploration of new ideas, art forms and self-expression
