Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The Rimon Artist Salon Series intends to engage 250 participants over the course of the four events, at least 75 of whom are under the age of 40. 25% of the participants will be attending a Rimon event for the first time. Audience participation will be measured by the number of tickets sold or people admitted to the event.The participant's experience with the Rimon Artist Salon will be measured by both audience and participant surveys and through post-event dialogue and correspondence.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Two hundred eighty-two individuals participated in the Salon series, exceeding our goal of 250. Because of the Salons' recordings, the impact of the events extended well beyond the number attending. Several hundred viewers have watched the recorded version. 60% of the live audiences (many not Jewish) were attending a Rimon event for the first time. Eighty were under the age of 40.
