Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
We hope to raise the quality and number of arts opportunities available to our community members.We will evaluate the project by collecting data from participants and by offering them the chance to participate in future projects.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Free admission to the Festival allowed everyone to experience and enjoy the arts by viewing artists work and participating in creating their own artwork. We provided a welcoming venue for all community members to come together and share a common experience, drawing those we do not see at other arts events.
