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)

As a whole the project was overwhelmingly successful in meeting all the stated goals. Because the projected was finished this fall, accurate and comparable financial and attendance numbers cannot truly reflect its impact until this time next year.
