Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

1) Provide access to participation in the arts for more Minnesotans. 2) Raise the quality, types and number of arts opportunities in our region, including an increase in the organizations or venues that offer them. Lanesboro Arts Center will use data collection and collect stories from audience participants. Lanesboro Arts will also collect written evaluations and discuss goals/outcomes from each artist in a post-residency one-on-one interview with Program Director Sara Baskett.

Measurable Outcome(s)

To increase cultural diversity in community programming and artist opportunity. These were met through opportunities for conversation and educational experiences that created lasting impacts on both the artists and rural communities.
