Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We will work with seven different arts organizations in 2015 to create new performance art opportunities for literary/verbal artists. We will showcase the work to over 300 audience members throughout 2015. To help evaluate this program, we will request detailed event reports (including attendance, ticket and donation income, and suggested improvements) from advisory panel members. In addition, we will track statistical information regarding the artists involved in the program.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The Community Space Partnership project served 54 verbal/literary artists during 8 nights of performances to nearly 800 audience members. TruArt Speaks held a slam poetry bout that featured 15 young artists, ranging in age from 13-19, performed to a standing-room-only audience. Hick Poetics highlighted the work of over 20 local and National poets during the Association of Writers and Writing Programs Conference.
