Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Diverse and often nontraditional art audiences will connect across shared art experiences. I will collect data by tracking participation, and by asking simple low barrier survey questions that capture individuals' relation, consumption, engagement to art.
Measurable Outcome(s)
People connected to people different from themselves through art. People want more similar events to attend.
