Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Reach more artists (including increase range in age, cultural background, artistic discipline, gender, stage of career). Engage in diverse cross-sector partnerships, provide online resources and in-person resource centers, and offer free and Pay-What-You-Can workshops that are accessible to a wide audience. 2: Reach more communities. Grow our presence in rural communities via our Fergus Falls office, share program models with other communities, and test and pilot new programs locally, then share with other communities.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Reached over 23,000 artists and community members through 205 professional development and creative place making workshops. Continued with strong partnerships, including with the RACs, and capacity-building partnerships with culturally specific organizations. Over 7,000 users of Resource Centers and online resources. Most workshops offered for free or at low cost. 2: Leveraged new projects to create new partnerships and deepen existing ones, adapting professional and community development models. Created a new partnership with elementary and secondary schools in the Fergus Falls area, had 400 rural arts leaders in Morris, Minnesota for the Rural Arts and Culture Summit. Shared 569 toolkits for artist-led projects with Minnesotans, up from 363 in FY 2016.
