Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The number of Minnesotans who are able to participate in the arts increases. The quality, types and number of arts opportunities in our region, and the organizations or venues that offer them increases. Arlyce Holland will again create the survey, distribute it and tabulate the results. As in past years, the PLRAC Survey Form will be used. It may be expanded by the BEVCA board.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Yes, we acheived our planned outcomes. We used a survey and found out that a high percentage of our patrons accessed the BEVCA website, indicating that the website was a good investment.
