Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this project, the entire Thief River Falls area had the opportunity to partake in visual arts, theater, dance and music while also having the opportunity to take art classes themselves to encourage future art ventures. Evaluation will occur through a follow-up meeting with project planners and artist questionnaire.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We had a number of people come out to our first Village Arts Festival. We saw numerous members of our musical families. We had feedback to move to a Saturday and increase the hours. Our visual artists received additional publicity on Facebook following the event. Based on feedback, we will be offering a kids arts area in the main building next year. For the most part, people were pleased with the event, and we hope to keep growing the event each year.
