Art Project

2: "Regional residents experience a change in knowledge, attitude, behavior or condition due to public art, arts festivals or arts events." Visitors to the crawl will experience new and different kinds of art. They will step out of their comfort zone to support local artists and visit places they have never been before. They will purchase items they have not purchased before and artists will expand their artistic reach through this. The economic impact of this cannot be understated. Community members and visitors and artists will all be impacted by this - there are so many opportunities to connect to new people and new ideas through this art crawl. 5: "Regional artists connect to new audiences and/or build relationships that provide artistic growth." Bringing in youth and providing accessibility to the elderly will be a shift and the barriers that existed prior will begin to disappear. This will be a collaboration across the life span with many different types of people participating and enjoying the art and visiting with people. Individuals and communities will be impacted by this - all art matters and when people step out of their comfort zone, they will see that even though something is different, it is good!. We will do surveys, one-on-one conversations and will be asking people on the spot at the crawl questions. We plan to have surveys available at every art crawl stop, on FB, on IG, on our website and through email marketing. We did not collect visitor emails but we will in the future. We have been having these conversations informally, which is why we have already made changes for 2020, but we know we need to be more intentional about this. Follow up surveys to our artists is also something we will do again.
