Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The Ordway will help the arts thrive in Minnesota by working with Minnesota artists. Minnesota artists will be involved in all facets of programming: as teaching artists, presenters and performers. The Ordway will also pursue opportunities for commissioning new work. The Ordway will track Minnesota artist participation in its activities. 2: The Ordway will ensure that people of all ages, ethnicities and abilities can participate in its programming. We will reach out to educators and administrators at K-12 schools and colleges, community organizations, artists, and community members, create age-appropriate culturally relevant programming, build new partnerships, and strengthen existing ones. Participation is counted through ticket sales and attendance at events.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The Ordway helped the arts thrive in Minnesota by working with Minnesota artists with over 2,000 Minnesota artists on its stages and in the parks for the International Children’s Festival. The Ordway helped to ensure that people of all ages, ethnicities and abilities can participate in its programming. Through "Taking Our Place Centerstage: The African Diaspora in Harmony" the Ordway reached out to African and African American audiences in new ways.
