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. Real or perceived barriers to arts participation and arts access are identified and addressed. The number of Minnesotans who are engaged in arts education and learning opportunities increases. Surveys will be handed out during the concerts, and the administrative assistant will tabulate the results.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Yes, we achieved our planned outcomes. We conducted an audience survey and learned that they are satisfied with the opportunities provided and that they liked the new wireless microphones available to our presenters and performers.
