Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The program will expose 150 - 350 people of varying ages to new creative perspectives. 80% of outreach activity participants will indicate deeper understanding and increased appreciation of the artists and artworks encountered through the program. Surveys and observation will serve as measurement tools. Success will be measured by degree to which participants indicate they learned something valuable; increased understanding of an issue or skill; or expanded sense of connection to community.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The program provided personal, in-depth educational contact with national and international touring artists, growing arts skills and cultural awareness for a total of 777 participants, from youth to seniors.
