Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
We expect that overall attendance will increase by 10%, and that a 15% increase in community participation in programming will bring an increased awareness of the senior's art work.Gallery opening attendance data will be kept and compared with last year; a survey on quality will be conducted online and through our newsletter.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Attendance was roughly the same in 2013 but the additional attendance at the Art-full Splash even increased the amount significantly, so that the total was actually 20% higher than in 2012. Increased awareness of senior artwork resulting in over 50% increase in art activities for seniors.
