A Strategic Plan For Our Future
The St. Paul Art Collective’s strategic planning project, funded by a St. Paul Cultural STAR grant, demonstrates a comprehensive approach by engaging stakeholders through surveys, interviews, and workshops. Over 200 stakeholders were contacted, resulting in 23 interviews and 22 Workshop participants. The plan was approved by the Board of Directors in October 2023 and will be reviewed annually and treated as a 3-year rolling strategy, demonstrating a commitment to adaptability and long-term success.
