The events are open to everyone, and in handicapped accessible locations. “Regional residents experience a change in knowledge, attitude, behavior or condition due to public art, arts festivals or arts events.” Residents of Tyler and the surrounding area will have an appreciation of the work that goes into creating a piece of art and gain knowledge of the process. Residents will have an appreciation for the different styles of music, and for the art of storytelling. “Regional artists connect to new audiences and/or build relationships that provide artistic growth.” Melanie Gabber-Gatchell and Joe Hauger will have a new group of participants attending their classes. “Regional residents learn new arts skills and techniques.” Residents of Tyler and the surrounding area will learn the techniques of creating an alcohol ink tile or a wood chip carving. “Regional residents gain awareness and appreciation for a variety of artistic disciplines and mediums.” Residents of Tyler and the surrounding area will gain an appreciation for different styles of music, such as jazz and blues, an appreciation for visual arts, and for the art of storytelling. Attendance will be recorded at each event. The diversity of the crowd will be observed by the arts council members and recorded.
