Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
This new Minnesota history show will be presented in eight far-flung communities with less access to the arts than urban populations. Funding support makes it possible for the presenters to bring this artwork to their communities, and half of the performances will be made free to the public. Outcome will be assessed by attendance, media interest, by audience survey, and post-project discussion with presenters. 2: Professional artists earn income from touring their work. The project will provide significant income for two artists and a technical director, will provide a commission for a graphic artist, and will be evaluated by a balanced budget at the end of the project.
