We will measure the success of the lending events by the number of people who attend and check out artwork. Another way to measure outcomes is by the number of artworks submitted to our open call and to the artist fellowship program. We will count the number of people that attend and the number of people that check out artwork. For artists, we evaluate based on the number of submissions we receive for our open calls.
Our records show that 175 people attended the two lending events. There were 78 new borrowers and 125 people borrowed artwork. During the grant period, we also received 35 submissions and accepted 14 new artworks bringing our collection to 110.
