Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

To build a state-wide creative community leadership network and expand our creative leadership and place-making efforts in Minnesota. Train 50 new leaders, host a two-day summit for 100 state-wide leaders and provide ongoing training and events for the network. Present at the rural arts summit. 2: To support the creation, presentation and engagement with art that encourages participation with the community and fosters dialogue and civic engagement. We aim to increase participation by 10% again this year and maintain the number of weeks we present in the Catalyst Series. Engage over 1,500 Minneapolis residents through our Creative CityMaking efforts and commission new work from artists of color.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Intermedia Arts trained 56 new leaders, hosted convening for 50 statewide leaders, conducted network activities for 84 members, and presented on arts-based community development in Minnesota at five forums. Intermedia Arts has a quarterly reporting system to track participation. In FY 2015, we worked with evaluators Betty Emarita, (Development and Training, Inc.) and Scott Chazdon, Ph.D. (Extension Center for Community Vitality, University of Minnesota). 2: Intermedia Arts presented sixteen weeks of performance, 36 weeks of exhibitions, sold out shows, placed seven artists in five City departments and commissioned new work by artists of color. Audiences were tracked and evaluated through ticket sales and surveys. FY 2015 was dedicated to strategically designing Creative CityMaking as a systems-change initiative within City government in service of advancing equity.
