Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

To ensure not only the continued functioning of the gallery, but put focus on outreach and networking in the community by paying a portion of the salaries of the gallery coordinator, bookkeeper, and marketing/outreach/social media coordinator. We ask audience members and class participants to complete evaluative surveys when applicable. Our board members gather first-hand evaluative comments. At board meetings after projects, we analyze the success of the project and our minutes reflect that evaluation as well as recommendations for future projects.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Aside from continuing the traditional promotion of activities and events that Prairie Renaissance Cultural Alliance has we also attended a monthly community meeting where we promoted the gallery and it events. And collaborated with a local organization to create public art.
