As a result of these concerts, lower income participants will experience a change in attitude and condition as they will be able to attend high-quality concerts showcasing a variety of music styles, in their place of residence. This will contribute to their feeling of well-being and living in a community that cares about them and the opportunities available to them. Evaluation methods include a survey administered during and after the concerts to measure what participants felt were positive aspects of the event including price, distance traveled, venue amenities, and where they heard about the concert. Artists will be asked what went right and what we can do better. The results will be shared with the Program Committee to determine how successful the concerts were and if Armory Arts and Events Center met our goals.
