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. New relationships with members of groups that have traditionally been underserved by the arts or by the applicant organization are built. They will utilize online surveys, focus groups, and one-on-one interviews to monitor the quality of instruction. They will also utilize trained judges’ feedback and scores as part of the measurement method.
