Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

At least 500 artists will participate in Art-A-Whirl, and at least 50% of artists will report the same or more artwork sales compared to the previous year. At least 80% of visitors will report they plan to return to Art-A-Whirl, and at least 50% report purchasing a piece of art during Art-A-Whirl. We will evaluate the event using electronic post-event surveys to attendees, members, and artist participants, and reports provided by NEMAA board, staff, members, volunteers, and interns. NEMAA will also evaluate the financial success of AAW based on comparing revenue and expenses to the budget.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Over 700 NEMAA artists participated in AAW. 61% of artwork sales were made by all new or mostly new clients, 58% reported either the same number or an increase of visitors from the previous year. 99% of AAW visitors reported that they planned to return to the next AAW, 76% spent money on artwork, 89% said their experience was very enjoyable or enjoyable.
