Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, selected artists will meet people who are interested in their art form(s) and may purchase their art or commission an artwork. Artist surveys and return envelopes are provided to participating artists. Artists are asked to complete and return the surveys after the event. Questions are asked to determine numbers of visitors to their sites and lists of where their visitors were from are encouraged. Primarily, the intent is to learn how helpful Art Leap was for artists. They often report "record" sales and, if they are returning artists, how sales compared with the previous year.
