Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Our mission directly addresses the outcomes and our activities also address increasing access to the arts. We provide access to the arts for more Minnesotans. We raise the quality, types and number of arts opportunities in our region. We analyze attendance, contributions and volunteer efforts, determine preferences through audience surveys and anecdotal comments gathered at events as well as board feedback at post-festival meetings.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Based on feedback, we have made a decision to stop presenting concerts at the Carleton Concert Hall. The acoustics are excellent, but its logistical challenges (too many steps and an inconvenient elevator) make it a difficult situation for some audience members.
