Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, people of all ages will have the opportunity to attend and learn fun new facts about the artist's topics which will spark the enthusiasm of future museum programming. Evaluation will occur through follow-up meetings with project participants, artist's questionnaires, along with notes and audience numbers during and after the programming to determine the effects that programming had on the audience along with noting their participation and reactions.

Measurable Outcome(s)

This grant allowed us to bring in new artists to the area that captured the audience's attention and impacted the thought of art and learning. We heard many comments about the enthusiasm to come to more shows such as the ones presented.
