Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

MCBA expands participation in accessible, affordable, culturally responsive book arts programming for underrepresented and underserved Minnesotans. We will evaluate this outcome using demographic information collected from our adult workshop program, consignment program, artist collective, teaching and exhibiting artist community, and organizational partnerships. 2: Minnesotans find inspiration, creative growth, and community through participation in MCBA's diverse book arts offerings. We will evaluate this outcome through workshop attendance, event attendance, workshop surveys, and artist participation and surveys.
