Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
We evaluate our success in many ways: increasing class attendance; addition of new artists; increased sales of artistic works and the receipt of increases sales commissions.The methods that we use to measure out outcomes are through data collection (class attendance, gallery sales, and physical count of visitors to our gallery on a daily basis), requests for additional classes via email, telephone or personal contact.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Increased attendance at classes, open houses and other art based opportunities has proven effective and has led to an increase of offerings and opportunities for individuals of all ages in the Dodge County and surrounding areas.
