Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Artists and arts organizations build relationships with members of, or organizations that serve, groups that have traditionally been underserved by the arts or by the applicant organization. Anecdotal responses, contacts made, relationships built, ideas generated.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Worthington Public Arts Commission has been in existence since November 2012. Our group has been working hard to develop a stronger organizational structure and continue to move ahead with promoting and creating more public art in the Worthington community. The Summit was an AMAZING opportunity!! It allowed me the chance to network with many others in the area of creating art, promoting the arts, and how to make connections! I talked with many other art advocates and collected a lot of good information and ideas for future project possibilities! We are on a roll and will continue to move ahead!! One of our local County commissioners (Dave Benson) was also there at the summit and we were able to discuss future growth in our region, and how we can work together with City and County entities.
