Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

At least 275 people in total attend the series events, 15% of whom identify via survey to be first-time series attendees. 70% of attendee survey respondents agree that they feel more connected to community because of the series and 70% agree that they were exposed to new perspectives through the author presentations. Anticipated outcomes will be evaluated through audience/participant count and demographics, audience surveys, and follow-up artist surveys. Both quantitative and qualitative data about arts experiences will be captured.

Measurable Outcome(s)

401 people attended six author events with just over half identifying themselves as first-time attendees. In audience surveys, attendees rated the program 4.8 out of five in terms of quality; 45% responded that they were exposed to an author whose work was new to them; 20% noted that they attended to see a specific author.
