The mission of the Duluth Art Institute is to enrich daily life with dynamic, innovative visual arts programming that upholds excellence and promotes active community participation. The DAI will host exhibits, classes, residencies, festivals and studio space, providing community connections, exhibition space, and opportunities for art making and arts exploration, engagement and learning, nurturing all facets of the visual arts in the Twin Ports. If we meet these goals in FY18-19, the DAI will become a hub for creative thinking and community engagement for all people in our region. This aligns with the Arts Board Outcome: Minnesota communities are stronger and more vibrant because of arts impact on social, civic, or economic life. We will track growth and depth of partnerships through statistical data and surveys. We will also track audience participation details and collect quantitative and qualitative data. We will conduct artist, audience, and student surveys; interact with artists and attendees for direct feedback; hold post-mortem meetings; accumulate and review press clips; read gallery visitor book comments; track audience participation numbers; track social and web engagement; count the number of partnerships; and count memberships
