Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Post-program participant evaluations will demonstrate that at least 80% of participating artists meaningfully deepen or expand their artistic practice. Post-performance surveys will show that at least 70% of audience members are inspired to think critically, reconsider the performance's subject matter, or discuss the performance with someone else. All participating artists will complete a post-program narrative evaluation, and all audience members will be invited to complete a post-performance survey. We also will track artist and audience count through the WIP/IA programs and the festival box office.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We did not require our artists to complete written evaluations due to COVID-19, but anecdotal conversations indicated 100% meaningfully deepened and expanded their artistic practice in the months before the pandemic set in. 100% also reported positive impact in terms of how Red Eye handled program changes due to COVID-19. Because we did not produce NW4W, we did not survey festival audiences.
