Minnesota Museum of American Art will mount five exhibitions in fiscal year 2013. Our goal is at least 500 visitors for each exhibition. Outcome was evaluated in terms of attendance sheets counting each visitor (and demographics of each visitor) coming into the Project Space. Visitor attendance at the Plains and the Weisman was determined by partner organization's internal counting controls. 2: Minnesota Museum of American Art will successfully launch the Curator Kids pilot program and expand the model program in fiscal year 2013 to reach over 135 school children per semester. Teacher/Artist attendance sheets and counting kids at the event.
Due to the delay in the construction, and thus our opening, in the Minnesota Museum of American Art's Project Space in the Pioneer Building, we did not have five complete exhibitions before the end of fiscal year 2013. The exhibitions we had, however, brought in many more than 500 visitors: 1,102 for Painting the Place Between; 1,235 for Do-It-Yourself Printing: Presses Not Required; and 3,105 for String/Felt/Theory. In addition our traveling exhibition Our Treasures: Highlights from the Minnesota Museum of American Art appeared at the Plains Art Museum in Fargo/Moorhead and brought in 12,084 visitors; and at the Weisman Art Museum in Minneapolis, which had 16,308 visitors. All of these activities were supported by Operating Support funds and organized by the Minnesota Museum of American Art. 2: Minnesota Museum of American Art successfully launched the CuratorKids program in spring of 2013, with 45 students in two classes at the John A. Johnson Elementary School in St Paul. In addition, 200 more children attended the Student Showcase event at the school where the participants presented Minnesota Museum of American Art and their own creations to the other kids at the school. Thus, a total of 245 children were reached by this pilot program in fiscal year 2013.
