Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We hope to lend 75 -100% of MALL's art collection to the public and hope to see at least 100 attendees. We will know how successful the project has been by the number of lending event attendees and the number of artworks loaned.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We provided an accessible, financial barrier-free event that was attended by 85 people. 68 of those attendees borrowed works of art from our collection and of those borrowers, 46% were new to the organization. Artists were provided exposure and opportunities to sell their work and new collectors were born. Since the event two borrowers have reached out expressing interest in purchasing art.
