Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Increase audience engagement by creating compelling stories around exhibitions and events; communicating the Minneapolis Institute of Art's stories over multiple channels and platforms; and assessing constituents' reception and understanding of the museum's stories. Audience Viewpoints Consulting of Herndon, Virginia will test visitor responses to stories about African art told through digital interpretive tools. 2: Embrace globalization by addressing the global transmission of art and culture in exhibitions and rotations; and developing installations that address the traditions, cultures, and concerns of ethnic communities living in Minnesota. An outside evaluator will compile visitor exit surveys.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The MIA introduced digital learning tools and sought participation and input from community members to increase audience engagement in museum programs. The MIA employed diverse art remixes on the theme of the sacred to address the global transmission of art and culture, including "Sacred" (Sep. 13-Aug 14) which juxtaposed art works from multiple places, inviting visitors to explore historic expressions of the spiritual and what is sacred to themselves.
