Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

“Regional artists connect to new audiences and/or build relationships that provide artistic growth.” I'm looking for inspiration on how to bring more members of the community into the art and history events and create more collaborations among various organizations in Granite Falls. I'll take notes and write down new ideas and I always meet some interesting new contacts at the Rural Art and Culture Summit.
