Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Audience/participant surveys showed 85% of respondents indicated the event provided an opportunity to feel connected to the Jewish community. The TCJHF will be evaluated by looking at media attention, audience size, box office reports, and comparing to previous years’ data, in addition to anonymous surveys sent to both audience members and artists to gather post-performance feedback. The Advisory Committee will then meet to debrief the festival as noted in the timeline.

Measurable Outcome(s)

1225 people attended live comedy performances, while we estimate another 300 others viewed the artistic exhibit between two galleries. These events supported twenty local artists and seven national/international artists. Audience/participant surveys showed 92% of respondents indicated the festival provided an opportunity to feel connected to the Jewish community.
