Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Create and respond to opportunities for artists to shape and transform the experience of public places. Outcomes measured by number of projects produced/created, artists and volunteers engaged and by surveys, interviews, and focus groups that analyze artists’ future careers and use of public space. 2: Embody and advance a new form of public art through the practice of City Art. Outcomes measured by analysis of the artistic quality, the scope of City Art projects, the broad engagement of artists in City Art, and the place City Art holds in the national practice of public art.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Public Art Saint Paul created new programs and further developed existing projects, providing new opportunities for artists and shaping the public realm. Success was measured by the total participation in projects by audience and volunteers, including 300,851 direct beneficiaries, 35 volunteers, 81 artists, and two workshops where we met 30 additional artist to identify barriers to making public art. 2: City Artist Amanda Lovelee's Pop Up Meeting innovated the City Meeting process, engaging Saint Paul residents in new ways and expanding City Art. Success was measured by the number of popsicles exchanged for surveys, number of residents giving the City feedback for the first time, and impact of media coverage that spread the word about City Art in Saint Paul nationally and internationally.
