Minnesota State Arts Board <br />FY 2024 Arts Experiences <br />Program Overview and Application Instructions page 10 <br /> <br />Outcomes Form <br />Arts Board program outcomes <br />Select the Arts Board program outcome for the Arts Experiences program. <br />Applicant’s project outcome (150 characters) <br />State a distinct and measurable outcome that the applicant intends to achieve with the support <br />that would be provided by this Arts Board grant. The applicant’s project outcome must support <br />the Arts Board program outcome selected above. <br /> <br />An outcome describes a change in knowledge, attitude, skill, behavior, or condition among the <br />people a project is designed to benefit. Effective project outcomes are specific, measurable, <br />and can be reasonably achieved by the proposed activities. <br />Outcomes always have two parts; the first part describes the person/people who will change, <br />and the second part describes what that change will be. <br />The following are examples of how an Arts Experiences project outcome might be stated: <br />• Festival participants will experience art forms that are new to them. <br />• Audiences will learn about and hear early classical music for the first time. <br />• Adults with dementia and their caregivers will experience comfort and a sense of joy <br />through singing together. <br /> <br />Avoid using statements like the following that describe activities, but not changes in knowledge, <br />attitudes, skills, behavior, or conditions among the people the project is designed to benefit: <br />• The applicant will provide five concerts to an audience of more than 100 people. <br />• Youth will meet with professional artists. <br /> <br />How will the applicant’s outcome be evaluated? (250 characters maximum) <br />Describe the method(s) the applicant will use to evaluate progress toward achieving the project <br />outcome. <br />For information about outcomes based evaluation, applicants may refer to Getting started with <br />program evaluation, a resource guide published by the National Assembly of State Arts <br />Agencies. <br />The proposed and actual outcomes, as well as the evaluation plan, will be posted on the <br />Minnesota Legacy Web site. <br />Narrative Form <br />Public statement (250 characters maximum) <br />If the application is funded, the public statement will be posted on the Arts Board website and <br />other locations. Summarize the activities that the grant funds would support. Write in a factual <br />manner, in the third person, using complete sentences. Example: [Applicant Name] will present <br />the Main Street Arts Festival featuring 100 local artist exhibitors and five artist demonstrations. <br />Mission and history (1,500 characters maximum) <br />Provide general overview information about your mission and history in the arts. This section will <br />be important to determine whether applicants meet the eligibility requirement of having been <br />actively engaging Minnesotans in arts activities for at least two years prior to the application <br />deadline. It will also be used by panelists for additional information in support of the criteria.
