Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Increase support for the new Arts Initiative. Increase awareness of the positive impact of the arts. Identify future potential public art sites. Collect feedback at unveiling event and from social media. Work with local businesses to collect data on arts traffic. Hold follow-up event to get public input on possible future art sites.

Measurable Outcome(s)

As expected, this initial project successfully completed by the brand-new Monticello Arts Initiative excited the community and raised the profile of the arts program. People made a point of stating although they are not normally "arts supporters", or that they "normally consider themselves to be conservative", they could see this program would be a good thing for Monticello.
