Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

While continuing to reach a wider audience and increase the number of visitors through counting and visits at specific buildings and studios, visitors will have an increase in engagement and variety of arts through the Passport promotion activity. The Passport activity encourages guests to visit multiple buildings and studios by having each location stamped in their book.For artist participation, the numbers of participating artists and performers is documented through an online registration process. For audience participation, for the duration of the event there are greeters who are stationed at each participating building who keep track of the audience attendance with a tally clicker; numbers from each building are recorded, documented, and totaled up. Approximately one week after the event ends, the Saint Paul Art Collective hosts a post-event meeting where event organizers, building coordinators, and volunteers will submit feedback to the event director and Saint Paul Art Collective, both firsthand and secondhand via artists/participants responses to their respectful building coordinators.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Our event hosted 25 different arts building/destinations throughout St Paul, included over 375 participating artists (new artists, guest artists, and resident artists) and 19,704 building visits. New artists involved were positive about the event and said they would “do it again” and guests claimed it was well publicized and there was good diversity of artistic art forms.
