Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Raise the quality, types and number of opportunities, including an increase in the organizations or venues that offer them. This exhibit bridges art and history at a local historical society museum and also brings crafts people and fine artists together to explore their connections to both craft and art. Surveys (online, onsite); observed behavior change by way of staff and volunteer interaction with visitors and artists: and data collection (attendance, number of events, revenues).

Measurable Outcome(s)

Attendance numbers were favorable. Staff and volunteers observed very positive feedback from both artists and visitors. Visitors who never looked at furniture as art now have a whole new appreciation for all the details that go into creating studio furniture and how it first into art and craftsmanship.
