Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Attendees will experience the joy of music and art in multiple formats in a small community where these experiences are difficult to find. Musicians and artists will experience a non-judgmental, competition-free venue to showcase their talents.

Measurable Outcome(s)

This monthly program continues to be very popular not only with local residents, but also regionally by musicians just getting their start. Two evaluations are collected at each program. One is for attendees, and this asks about their reaction to the show. The other survey is for both performers and artists who are displaying their work to complete. We ask about their comfort level in performing or displaying their art is the atmosphere non-judgmental and competition-free, and if they feel supported and overwhelmingly they respond that they love the welcoming and supportive atmosphere. And they keep coming back. Our audience loves the variety of acts and art that they experience.
