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 opportunities for artists to shape the public realm. Success was measured by 13,770 total participants, 44 volunteers, and cultivation of eighteen artists interested in public art. A new project, Bee Real Bee Everywhere was produced, and PASP established a project with an emerging Hmong-American artist. 2: City Artist Amanda Lovelee's Pop-Up Meeting and Bee Real Bee Everywhere engaged Saint Paul residents in new ways and expanded City Art. Success was measured by the number of popsicles exchanged for surveys and media coverage that spread the word about City Art in Saint Paul. Pop Up Meeting earned a Knight City Challenge award, one of 33 winners out of 4,500 proposals nationally.
