Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

More Itasca area residents will encounter the arts in their everyday lives and experience art as a tool for community development. Engagement and outreach efforts will be documented and attendance tracked to show where and how many people are being reached through MAC programs. Partner organizations will report how the arts are impacting social outcomes. 2: More Itasca area artists will access tools, resources, and support for their artistic and professional development close to home. The Itasca Area Artist Survey will measure artists' satisfaction with existing programs and services at MacRostie Art Center and suggestions for improvement. Qualitative feedback will be solicited through artist gatherings and artist interviews.
