Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
The Rimon Artist Salon series intends to engage 275 participants over the course of the four events, at least 75 of whom are under the age of 40. 25% of the participants will be attending a Rimon event for the first time. Audience participation will be measured by the number of tickets sold. The participant's previous experience with Rimon will be measured by an audience survey and through post-event dialogue and correspondence.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Engage a younger audience: 50% of 3rd Salon participants were younger than 36 and attending a Rimon event for the 1st time. Challenge an artist’s understanding of his audience: 2nd Salon's artist changed his mind about his Midwestern audience's beliefs based on dialogue at the Salon. Create new audiences for the artists: Many Salon participants purchased tickets for the artists’ subsequent show.
