Project Grant

The specific, measurable outcomes of the exhibition series are: The artists sell $11,000 of their artwork; 3,230 people attend the exhibitions and related workshops, classes and receptions; 16 elementary and secondary schools participate in the February Student Art Show; individuals and local businesses contribute $7,500 in support of the Exhibition Series; on the evaluation forms submitted, an average score of 4 out of a possible 5 is achieved.Each of the 8 exhibits is evaluated by the Gallery Manager, Administration and Gallery Committee at the conclusion of the exhibit. The series as a whole is evaluated by these and the Board of Directors at year's end. Major recommendations for the next year are made at year's end, although minor adjustments that do not impact the budget can be made at any time. Each evaluator is asked to fill out an evaluation form, and the following information is included: 1) We measure the number of attendees. All attendees are encouraged to sign our guest book listing home addresses and email addresses to increase our outreach. The salesperson logs attendance daily. 2) The number of sales are recorded, including medium, description and price. 3) The quality of the exhibits is maintained by the Gallery Committee, which previews and approves each exhibit. Appropriate feedback is given to the artists. 4) The Gallery Committee's year end report is given to the Board of Directors, to be included in their annual evaluation of the exhibition program. 5) Pertinent information from the evaluations is shared with the artists and public.
