Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Audiences will learn about the artists and their methodologies through gallery talks, artist lectures, and didactic materials in the gallery. Becoming more familiar with the artists and their processes will aid in expanding audience understanding of others' experiences and expand capacity for empathy. It is our goal that by meeting the artists and learning about their work and processes, future engagement in the arts will grow for our audience. The Exhibition Series is also important to artists as it allows them to increase their professional visibility, reach new audiences, and create new work. It is vital for artists within our region specifically, as there are few opportunities for them to showcase their work locally. We evaluate and measure the success of this program by counting gallery visitors, tracking the number of views for the recorded program on YouTube, and conducting surveys. Anecdotal feedback is recorded in the exhibition guest log which invites guests to sign their name and leave feedback. Artists who exhibited are also given an anonymous online survey to leave feedback about their experience working with the gallery and whether or not this was beneficial in their career in terms of making new work, increasing their professional visibility, and reaching new audiences.
