Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Increase the number of Minnesotans served in 2021 over the prior year The 990 will be used to evaluate ticket sales, tuition, and artist rentals. These numbers reflect attendees, student enrollment, artists served, and arts organizations served.

Measurable Outcome(s)

More individuals will pay admission or fees than the prior year. MAC was unable to sell tickets or education programming or artist rentals the previous fiscal year. However, during this reporting period, we produced and sold tickets to 2 shows and 2 camps! 990 and Quickbooks verifies this.
