Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The target audience is ultimately the Heartland Lakes Area community which, as an out-state locale, is underserved in the arts. This equipment prchase will help NLOC has continue to provide arts experiences that are usually only found in larger metropolitan communities. Those who create the magic behind the scenes, such as technical director, lighting designer, and the community of set building volunteerswill now have resources needed to expand their creative output. Evaluation methods include a journal describing the benefits of items purchased administered to the users of purchased equipment upon completion of an arts project.
