Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, all ages will be able to learn and enjoy distinct art forms and different genres of music. Local and surrounding area artists will have the advantage to see other artists perform their skills. Evaluation will occur through follow-up meeting with planners, counting audience members, questionnaire's handed out to the audience which will allow them to voice their opinion and experience of the arts provided at the festival. Overall observation and contact with audience members throughout the day provides ideas and views of what they like and what they would like to see in future festivals.
