Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The goals of this planning process are to see how and if this sculpture project is feasible. If the project is feasible this planning process will create the scaffolding necessary for a successful project. One project goal for this project is community involvement. This can be measured by the number of people in the community that participated in the project.The metric for success will be a well-planned project that engages the community and leaves a lasting legacy for the arts that is of superior quality. We will gather results through surveys from meetings, after the meetings, and also later with a follow up survey to see how the community felt about the planning process. These results will tabulated and used for future projects, so that we may have better outcomes in the future.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The measurable outcome was a detailed plan on how the fire sculpture will be created. All the goals that were set forth were achieved.
