Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Age is a perceived barrier to participation in the arts. Some older people do not think they can do art, and many people of all ages think that older folk do not produce it worthy of their attention. Outcome: Attendance at Northfield Senior Citizens Gallery receptions will increase by 25%.To measure this outcome we will record attendance. At all Northfield Senior Citizens Gallery receptions, as we have done in the past, and will compare these totals for the grant period with the same period last year.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Goal to increase gallery attendance by 25% was set as a way to address perceived barriers to appreciation of seniors' artwork. Overall attendance increased by 23.8%, so the goal was essentially met.
