Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

In 2022, more than 10 high schools in Central Minnesota will participate in the juried exhibition featuring the work of at least 75 students. Data will be collected virtually throughout the program.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We supported 16 central MN schools in our 2022 High School Juried Art Show. The Paramount researched and implemented a new online platform to gather and present information. Only two (out of 109) students required additional assistance uploading the work. We captured an unprecedented number of votes for the "People's Choice Award" - a new category designed to engage the community in the program.
