Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Our vision is to support a wide group of emerging and established artists, both during the event, when audiences travel from studio to studio interacting with the artists, but in preparation for the event. The Meander helps the stability and development of the local arts community by helping us to collectively market to a public radio audience, by having a magnified web presence, and by learning the secrets of successful marketing. We also believe that the Meander integrates art into the everyday lives and consciousness in our region, acting as an annual reminder of the role the arts play in community development and growth. Each year, we encourage Meander event-goers to fill out our "passport" survey. This is a great tool to gather information on where each person comes from, how they heard of the event, how much money they spent on art as well as other things in the area (gas, lodging, food,), the quality of the event, and more. We'd love to see an increase in numbers and amount spent on art, although we are happy to keep the numbers similar to the past.
