Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The variety and number of arts opportunities in Northwest Minnesota will increase through this opportunity for the general public to interact with the artists and attend workshops on their special interests. Evaluation will occur through an audience questionnaire, personal observation of activities, follow up meeting with project planners, attendance numbers, and interviews.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Our project allowed for more than 600 persons from a rural community to attend a diverse (music, song, dance) program of artistic performances as our goal was stated. The audience participated during some of the dance performances. Those in attendance also had the opportunity to interact with the artists during the day and evening performances.
