Quantitative: over 800 people will enjoy one or more of the Saint Croix Jazz Orchestra performances over the 3 weekends. Qualitative: the ensemble performances will inspire people to pick up an instrument at the Instrument Petting Zoo. We will evaluate the Mobile Art Gallery programs by counting the audiences and casual participants over the multiple weekends. We will also survey the volunteers and artists for their feedback and "in-the-field" observations and conversations with patrons.
One of the most significant outcomes was increasing awareness of the artists (St. Croix Jazz Orchestra and painter William Ersland) in their home communities. Overwhelmingly, audiences were not familiar with the SCJO or the big band – even when their child studied under one of the band members at school. Audiences were unfamiliar with Ersland even though he is an award-winning artist.
