Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We will host a series of informational workshops and artist workshops to guide artists in proposals for Creative Placemaking projects on Cedar Avenue. 20-25 accepted proposals and the concept work will be displayed at an open-invitation community event. We will be tracking the number of workshops offered, the number of participants in the workshops, the number of artists participating and the number of proposals received. A community panel will work to curate this process, help guide artists, and help give constructive feedback.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Local, emerging artists were given training in creative placemaking, budgets, and responding to a call for artists. Artists are now better equipped to respond to future calls for art. The number of, and quality of, proposals for Cedar Ave Arts has increased. We have a bigger pool of artists and proposals to work with for implementation. Half of the proposals received were from artists of color.
