Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Based on previous class and outreach numbers, we expect the classes to serve at least 250 students, while the outreach programs will reach 1,000-1,500 members of the general public, with emphasis on engaging younger generations of fiber artists. We anticipate an audience of 100 for the film screening. In general, WGM's community includes students, artist members, and the public. We will continue to use financial and enrollment trends, class evaluations, testimonials and survey data to measure our outcomes as we do for other programming. For ôFiber to the People!ö our surveys and evaluations will seek to more specifically evaluate each class, presentation, and other program on its success in reaching the four criteria listed in the application (historically interesting; creatively challenging; environmentally sensitive; financially sensitive), as well as its success in drawing a younger demographicůnot only for this program, but for long-term engagement with the organization.
