Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of general operating funds, our arts group will have an increased ability to provide high quality performances with better equipment upgrade. Evaluation will occur with a questionnaire for the artists who perform. A Follow-up meeting with project planners. Audience, Artist and Youth numbers will be counted at each performance.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The sound system was updated and new fire alarms/smoke detectors and new fire extinguishers were updated this year, making for not only a better listening environment but also a safety factor was instilled and updated. As we try to do each year upgrading the experience for the audience and the performers continues to be a main goal, 2019 was a very successful year for "Stephen Arts Center."
