Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Our goal is to reach as many people in the community that wish to partake in the arts offered by the Waseca Art Center. The Waseca Arts Council will conduct short surveys on new classes and visitor surveys on the facilities and atmosphere. Facebook questionnaires will also be used to draw attention to the new equipment.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Yes, we achieved our planned outcomes. We used a survey. The survey showed that the chairs, tables and easels improved the programming and the computer improved the technology.
