Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

150 people will attend Sketch Mythology 2, created by over 20 collaborating artists. 80% of audience members will engage with an art form (modern dance, figure drawing, experimental music, etc.) that is unfamiliar to them. We will seek feedback from the collaborating artists. Artists will be asked to write a reflection about how they felt about the process and whether the collaborative process fostered growth in their artistry. In addition to tracking ticket sales and attendance, we will collect audience reactions to the work through post performance conversations (both in person and through social media), as well as an audience survey.

Measurable Outcome(s)

A diverse group of twenty artists collaborated on a multi-media performance incorporating original dance, theatre, visual art, and music. 70 people attended performances that also gave them the opportunity to draw.
