Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this project, all ages will be affected in a positive way by instilling values in our youth which teaches them to enjoy deeper forms of beauty in art and for all ages to be influenced by the kind of music, and art one likes. Evaluation will occur through a follow-up meeting with planners, counting actual audience members, questionnaire handed out to audience which will allow them to voice their opinions and experience of the arts provided at the festival.

Measurable Outcome(s)

With the higher attendance, the festival has expanded the communities outlook on their views of music and art. Not only was the event a learning experience, the festival was highly praised with great expectations on what will be presented next year. Questionnaires had many positive reviews with numerous statements on how impressed they were with last year's festival and how this year’s event was even better.
