Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

90% or more of VOH choir members reported they built confidence as musicians and performers, were exposed to new musical styles, and better understood the power of music to connect communities of people. 90% or more of choir members and collaborators/visiting artists learned about other participants and were moved by each other’s musicianship and communication through song. We will evaluate our anticipated outcomes using participant/artist surveys and post-performance debriefing (verbal qualitative feedback) with choir members and teaching artists. We will also distribute surveys to visiting audience members if they are permitted inside the prison to come to the concert.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Over 33,000 visitors have come to the Art-A-Whirl Online experience since its launch on May 15, 2020. An increase of attendees 65 and older increased from 10% to 25%. 150 artists built online shops using our platform, creating the ability to sell online year-round which they did not have before.
