Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The outcomes expected are to provide access to participation in the arts for more Minnesotans by providing a more efficient rental and scheduling process for the use of the Chatfield Center for the Arts and to enhance the promotion of the events. The outcomes will be measured by: 1) conducting interviews with Board members about the ease and efficiency of rentals; 2) distributing and collecting survey forms from renters about the process; 3) measuring the number of events in the Center.

Measurable Outcome(s)

A facility host proved beneficial to the Chatfield Center for the Arts by providing a single point of contact for volunteers, renters, artists, and promoters. This enabled more accurate and efficient communications for scheduling and holding events, rentals, and productions.
