Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, PRLAAC will continue to support arts projects and programming and through new promotional initiatives will increase awareness of and participation in the arts. PRLAAC will implement an annual survey asking the question: in the past year, which arts activity or activities did you attend, and how did you learn about these arts activities? Additionally, survey questions will be asked to ascertain PRLAAC's role in raising community awareness of the arts through their programming and promotions.

Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of the first year of CAS grant funding, PRLAAC continued to support community arts projects promoting them on the PRLAAC website and on Facebook and initiated a quarterly, four-page newspaper section, titled Art Beat. Three Art Beat editions in 2018 reached newspaper subscribers and as part of this partnership the newspaper printed 2,000 additional copies which were distributed at the Chamber Visitor Center; library; dental, eye and other professional offices and at arts events.
