Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

With Legacy funding the Rep will expand its marketing capabilities to reach more artists and a broader, more diverse audience, thus building new relationships with underserved groups in the region while also growing our development capabilities. We will measure outcomes through on-site audience surveys and artist participation. Data collection relating to attendance figures and demographics, will allow us to track increases in ticket sales, grant activity and donations generated.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We were able to increase attendance considerably as well as attract new support for the Rep's day-to-day operations.
