Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Sounds Like School will provide access to participation in the arts for more Minnesotans, especially those students and children ages 4-21 years of age. Sounds like School will increase the types and number of arts opportunities in our region for children and young adults. Methods of evaluation will include video-audio recordings, focus groups, interviews, observed behavior change, and data collection.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Every performance was open to the community and advertised as such. In the same manner access to participation in the arts was provided for more Minnesotans.
