Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Minnesotans discover connections to one another through relevant, innovative, and accessible arts, craft and music experiences. ASI will track attendance, collect, and analyze feedback from museum visitors and participants in programs that feature Minnesota artists, and which aim to draw connections between art and artists of different backgrounds and/or cultures.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Over 60,000 Minnesotans participated in arts experiences that deepened their appreciation of folk art, music, and handcraft as expressions of culture. Attendance and demographic data were collected through registration information, and outcomes were recorded through digital surveys, oral interviews, written feedback opportunities for personal reflection, and more.
