Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The audience is encouraged to talk to the potters, pick up the art, and kids get their hands dirty in the clay. The board tries to bring in a large variety of clay mediums so that the participating audience can continue developing their clay knowledge. We continue to draw new locals who have heard from friends that the Festival is a great, family-friendly, opportunity to engage with artists and learn about pottery. This year we're looking for opportunities to promote the Festival to more families through the school system and library. Participating potters gain exposure and sales. Emerging clay artists are able to network. We will develop cross-promotions with local businesses and nonprofits. We will conduct online and in-person surveys.
