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. The participant's experience with the Rimon event will be measured by an audience survey and through post-event dialogue and correspondence.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We wanted to highlight new arts media: two art forms that had not previously been presented--break dancing and performance poetry--were showcased. We wanted to create professional opportunities for artists: participating in the Salon resulted in the sale of a painting by the artist to a local buyer. We wanted to expand audiences for artists: more than a dozen Salon attendees bought tickets for the artist's subsequent show.
