Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The Albert Lea Art Center is excited about the coming year's special events and activities which include new and unusual opportunities for all ages and participation by other community organizations, broadening our scope and outreach. Increased and enthusiastic participation always show us that we are meeting community needs. We use attendance numbers, visitor comments and attitude, handout surveys, conversation buzz, volunteer enthusiasm and event photos to confirm success.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We anticipated larger audiences at our shows and events, increased membership, increased donations, increased volunteers, increased website and social media traffic. We are gradually growing in all of these categories.
