1. Each of our programs will be high-quality. 2. Many residents of rural areas are unwilling to travel long distances for arts activities. By providing high quality opportunities in their own community, one of the biggest barriers is eliminated. 3. Consistent quality programming is key to instilling the arts into life in our region. Building on past successful programs increases credibility and confidence. 4. Our programming strives to attract attendees from many age groups. 5. Build attendance in children's programs. 6. Attract at least 200 to music programs. Count attendees and survey participants. By counting children registered in programs can document if programs are becoming more self-sufficient. Surveys of participants in all programs document perception of quality, likelihood of future participation, suggestions for improvement or additions/changes, and reflect the feelings of participants regardless of age, gender, social status, race, etc. and will help us plan for the future.
Drama class met and exceeded registration and budget goals. Art class at least met registration minimums. Dervish ticket revenue exceed 2015 ticket revenue. Joyce Lyons performance exceeded ticket revenue goal. Dance class cancelled so did not meet goals.
