Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Right Here Commissions seeks to support its commissioned artists to successfully create new works, and to reach audiences beyond the artists' particular constituencies. Right Here Commissions will evaluate the success of the artistic quality by speaking directly with audiences, considering completed surveys, assessing box office statistics.

Measurable Outcome(s)

This year, more than in other years, informal surveys conducted at the beginning of each evening's performances showed that a significant number of attendees were new to the project. Many attendees remarked that they had not seen individual artists, and that they enjoyed having a visual artist as part of the line-up.
