Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Increased artistic activity in artist development, Rough Cuts, and productions programs as demonstrated by numerical metrics. We will offer one Composer-Librettist Studio, refine our curriculum for our Institute, restore our Rough Cuts programs to eight presentations, and create at least one new fully-staged production. 2: We will refine our Management Fellowship Program, whose participants will provide written evaluations. We will expand the curriculum for our three management fellows by increasing their access to professional mentors and additional professional development activities.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Given reduced funding, we were able to support our Rough Cuts program and our production of FUGITIVE SONGS. We presented ten Rough Cuts programs (including two Art Crawls) and one production of FUGITIVE SONGS, presented in collaboration with the Saint Paul Conservatory for Performing Artists. 2: Given reduced funding, these activities were supported by an Arts Learning Grant from the Arts Board.
