Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The quality, types and number of arts opportunities in our region, and the organizations or venues that offer them increases. New relationships with members of groups that have traditionally been underserved by the arts or by the applicant organization are built. Musicorum will use audience surveys to evaluate progress. We will include the survey in concert programs and orally ask audiences to complete it.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Our evaluation procedure went according to plan. We created and tabulated results from our December 2018 audience survey. Results were VERY positive and indicated our audiences are gradually becoming somewhat younger with time, and coming from gradually increasing distances to attend our concerts. These are very positive developments, indicating that our reputation and geographic reach are growing.
