classic theatre will be supplied with a venue and audience.
Participants will engage in a group activity at the end of the weekend
involving “guerilla art”…
Using modern technologies of video, intelligent lighting, and
costuming, the goal is to introduce the timeless, romantic language
and brilliant storytelling of Shakespeare to Central Minnesota
Examples of Outcomes
Students understand the value of classic theatre through Shakespeare.
professional artists who have dedicated much of their lives to
performing classic theatre are supplied with a venue and audience.
Artists feel a stronger connection with other artists within or outside
their chosen genre or medium.
As identified through their survey responses artists who attended the
workshop now experience less intimidation of large institutional
programs and fine art galleries.

Ways of Demonstrating Need
“During discussions with the ABC Foundation, three themes
of need emerged: cleaning up target areas between 15th and
27th Avenues, altering the spaces to discourage further
degradation, and involving neighborhood residents so they
feel ownership and pride in the changes.”
65% of audience members surveyed expressed a desire for
more spacious, higher quality, and comfortable seating in the
theater

Minnesota Cultural Data Project
A system that allows arts and cultural organizations to input their financial,
programmatic and operational data into an online form. Organizations can then
use CDP to generate reports designed to increase management capacity, identify
strengths and challenges and inform decision-making.
CMAB will eventually require that applicant organizations are registered with the
CDP.
