Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The target audience- people of all ages- will experience an increase in arts access and the importance of the arts in the community, and knowledge of the power of music to tell stories, to paint pictures for the audience, and to convey emotions.Depot Preservation Alliance volunteers will interview concert guests, observe/record reactions, capture non-verbal (facial expressions) of audience members conveying their reaction to the music, as well as interview the artists to gain a better understanding as to how the Depot Preservation Alliance can improve the venue and arts events.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The 50 adults and 4 youth that attended thoroughly enjoyed the concert with calls for an encore at the end of the two-hour concert. Staff could tell from facial expressions, clapping, whistles, participation by the audience and comments made to other patrons and to staff that this was a successful event and the crowd was enjoying the music and the storytelling very much. Guests were invited to complete surveys and those who chose to consistently rated the concert 5 out of % for artistic excellence.
