Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

More Minnesotans, especially those in the Southwest Minnesota Region, will be able to participate in the arts.One of the goals is buy a computer and printer. If we purchase them and they help our capacity to deliver for the arts community that will be a measure of success. If we build a solid data base of artists and patrons that will be a measurable success. If we have a shared vision of what direction the arts in New London should go that will be a measure of success. We will have a short survey that the New London High School Art Seniors will canvas the town with to collect peoples response to the value and vision of the arts in New London.

Measurable Outcome(s)

1. Beginning with nothing, we created a database of artists and arts audience members. 2. Email list with over 300 addresses for marketing arts events, seeking volunteers, etc. 3. Social media development including a robust and active Facebook page with over 350 "likes" and thousands of page views. 4. Thousands of people in attendance at ArtLuck events or other participatory public arts events. 5. Increased New London Arts Alliance board capacity and size from 5 members to 9 members.
