Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Minnesotans participate in the arts because arts experiences are relevant and accessible to them. Minnesotans learn, grow, or change because they participate in quality arts experiences. Grantee organizations change, expand, or enrich the ways they connect to their communities. Minnesotans from groups traditionally underserved by the arts or the grantee organization feel they have an authentic relationship to the grantee. Stories, Survey, Interviews, Observed Behavior Change, Data Collection.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Our goals and outcomes were met in many ways. We brought in more and new people, new types and local forms of art and allowed more people who don't have access to art to experience the arts.
