Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We expect at approximately 1500 attendees to attend one or all of the 19 open studios. Forty artists will be displaying their art and conducting art demos.Success will be based on the following criteria: Increased artist networking. Increased public attendance, public participation and feedback, identifying a broader audience, attendees’ comments and feedback. A main responsibility of our advisory board members is to attend as many studios as possible and give feedback on the good point’s accessibility, and what needs improvement.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Approximately 1600 people visited 16 open studios on a self-guided tour to view art from 36 artists, interact with the artists, and to learn about the arts, artists and arts opportunities in their community.
