Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, an onsite tour of the BSW will be held weekly in the summer enabling participants to gain a greater knowledge, appreciation and awareness of public art. As a result of the program, BSW will build stronger relationships with the public, constituents and the business community by increasing membership and sponsorship and obtaining feedback from organizations and downtown businesses on how we may better serve the community. The Project Coordinator will conduct three interviews with participants during the summer tours to obtain information on the impact the BSW has made on them. 2. The Project Coordinator will increase the current number of sponsors and members annually by 10% over the next two years and build relationships with community art organizations and downtown businesses by conducting 5 surveys obtaining feedback on how we may better serve the community.
