Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The festival ensures that individuals from diverse backgrounds, who may not have regular exposure to cultural events, have the opportunity to engage with and appreciate various forms of artistic expression. The festival provides a platform for local artists to showcase their skills, and the synergy between art and nature in this rural setting enhances the overall festival experience and encourages artists to explore new creative dimensions. The festival offers a communal space where people can come together, fostering a sense of shared experience and connection through the arts. Educational programs and workshops integrated into the festival enhances artistic literacy, encouraging local residents to engage with and appreciate a broader range of creative endeavors. Our committee will evaluate the festival's impact by seeking feedback from festival attendees. An online survey is currently being developed.
