Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Address barriers to participation in the arts and provide access for 1000 new people through active outreach and marketing of the docent program to key areas. We will identify these areas by considering underserved populations and existing needs. Use of qualitative and quantitative methods, including: participant surveys, ‘storytelling’ interviews, data collection of attendance (with a focus on new people reached) and events, and solicitation of critical feedback from the outside assessor.
Measurable Outcome(s)
More than 50 trained docents over the course of 2 years.
