Measurable Outcome(s)

Minnesota Center for Book Arts is the only organization in the state dedicated to advancing the book arts. Artistically strong and financially healthy, our comprehensive programming ensured that a valuable artistic asset, the book arts, thrives in Minnesota. Over 52,000 youth and adults participated directly in Minnesota Center for Book Arts' programs, which include free gallery exhibitions and special events, classes for adults and youth, and public open houses. Audiences include the general public and constituencies served by community partners. Minnesota Center for Book Arts conducted outreach programs through eighteen library systems in communities. Minnesotans believe the arts are vital to who we are. Book arts provide an approachable artistic vehicle for artists and life-long learners to express themselves.
