Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Minnesota residents have access to artistic training and art educational advancement. Minnesotans have quality training and arts education in structured classes. One on one critiques provide artist's response to the program, and allows us to tailor the instruction for each student. 2: Expansion of arts programs available to Minnesotans. Quantitative outcome: Increase in students, workshop registration and special educational lecture attendees. Qualitative outcome: A questionnaire will indicate success, and allow us to improve our program.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The Atelier added part time classes to include programs requested by the community. The Atelier uses verbal input from participants about how the experience was and what changes might make that experience more inclusive. Those suggestions are then passed on to the director to implement these changes for those attending the programs. 2: The Atelier added new workshops and lectures as well as repeating workshops that were requested by the community. Participants are given out qualitative assessment sheets to fill out and return These sheets included both a scoring system and a request for written input, as well as a request for suggested workshops or lectures to present.
