Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Museums large and small are struggling for the attention of individuals in this new busy world. By taking our history out to where the people are we will have the opportunity to develop relationships with individuals that would never think about going to a museum. Doing this with artworks (murals) is all the better. We will use several methods. We have set up a Give Us Your Feedback link on our website. We will hand out evaluation forms at the capstone event with the opportunity to win prizes if completed and submitted that day. We will email surveys to various community organizations requesting feedback.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Mural completion by August 15, 2015. Capstone event held successfully. We found that there is a strong desire for more murals.
