Project Overview

The demographic for Benton County needs access to quality arts and culture and historical programming. We will utilize our Activity Area and Cottonwood Stage to introduce some art forms to the visitors of our Benton County Fair programming. Our fair has a high attendance and it provides the perfect opportunity to enhance an introduction to arts through our programming and events. Our committees for these areas chose to pursue three groups of very different activities to reach a wider variety of visitors in under-utilized areas to provide an introduction to the arts, enjoyment of the arts and interactive participation in the arts.

Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We are expecting participation of at least 100-150 people of all age groups at the Rockin Wood shows at the Cottonwood Stage. Head count and photos taken. The Sonpuppets and Emotion in Motion will be located in a family area that we expect to have 50-100 people participate in their shows and activity.
