Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The intended outcome of the arts program is to allow patrons the opportunity to create hands-on art projects and develop their skills as visual artists, such as creative problem solving, self-expression, small motor development, etc. A survey was distributed to receive feedback from those attending the programs.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Residents of Baudette will be able to enjoy the sculpture for years to come. Library employees will collect comments from the public as they enjoy the new public artwork

Source of Additional Funds

1 library provided space, staff, and additional promotion for the programs and approximately 10 regional newspapers provided marketing through press releases, photos and interviews with artists and performers.
