Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Community members connect to inspiration, life-long learning, and each other by experiencing diverse perspectives and innovative artistic programs. Community and participant surveys are the primary evaluation tool. Literary analysis of qualitative data helps assess learning, growth, change, and connection. 2: Local and regional artists thrive artistically and financially, enabling them to add cultural and economic benefit to their communities. Studio artists, artists-in-residence, and artists participating in programs will be surveyed (anonymously and annually) regarding Anderson Center's impact on creative practice, ability to generate revenue, and engagement with Minnesota communities.
