Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Our outcomes focus on increased awareness and attendance at our workshops and event. We hope to maintain or increase workshops from 70 offered throughout the metro area with an average of 7 participants (174 unique participants in 2016). We hope to increase attendance at the Show and Sale from last years' 738. We also gauge artist's confidence and improvement in their skills by their participation in the Show and Sale by works displayed: 130 artists displayed 470 pieces in 2016, with 231 sold. We hope to grow in this area as well. People Incorporated counts participants and attendees, and conducts informal surveys during workshops and following the Show and Sale.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Artability provided 556 total classes in 2017 with 300 unique class attendees (compared to 125 classes and 184 unique attendees in 2016), added four program locations, and sold 200 pieces of artwork worth $23,000 at the annual Show and Sale. We also expanded accepted submissions to the Show and Sale, opening sculpture to include items such as basket-weaving, fabric art, and pottery bowls.
