Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Maintain and strengthen Minnesotans' connections to art through programs at our new exhibition space, library, and across the Twin Cities. We will evaluate progress based on participant and visitor feedback, attendance estimates, library acquisitions, critical response, and the lifespan of previously commissioned projects. 2: Continue to provide career opportunities, connections and resources for artists and curators from Minnesota. We will track the number of artists supported through our exhibition and off-site programs, and through our Visual Arts Fund, as well as the number of interns we have, attendance at public programs, and library circulation.
