Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, children, youth and adults will be involved in arts experiences as learners, participants and audiences. Evaluation will occur from discussions with participants and will keep records of audience, youth and artist numbers.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Audiences met and exceeded our expectations in all events. We noticed a significant increase in our summer concert series; we added another performance to our summer theater (4 vs 3) all sold out. We noted comments after performances that expressed very positive support for our programming. Another note is the increase in volunteers for summer theater - parents and grandparents assisting behind the scenes during rehearsals and performances.
