1. The exhibit will attract a large number of visitors to the gallery. 2. The exhibit will provide Minnesota architects, recognized for their architectural achievements but not their accomplishments in art, the opportunity to exhibit their work in a gallery. 3. The exhibit will promote the appreciation of architecture as a tool for placemaking and community identity. 4. The exhibit will expand the public’s definition of architecture--as a community’s largest and most diverse collection of public art. 1. The gallery keeps a record of the number of visitors. 2. United Arts will post photos of and commentary about the exhibit on the United Arts and Paramount Facebook pages to elicit reactions and responses to questions related to the outcome assumptions. Likes and comments will measure visitors' reaction to the exhibit. 3. A guestbook in the gallery will capture comments from viewers. 4. Observation and casual discussions with viewers and the architects will anecdotally measure the outcomes.
The outcomes achieved for the Architects as Artists exhibit were: (1) The exhibit attracted a record number of visitors. (2) New audiences and artists were drawn to the exhibit. (3) Positive attitudes toward architecture as art developed. Measurements: One gallery recorded its attendance. The other, located in a theatre lobby, tallied patrons that attended shows during the exhibit dates. Volunteers and staff interviewed attendees. Comments about the exhibit were monitored on social media.
