Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We hope to achieve an average attendance of at least 150 audience members per concert. A second goal is that 100% of the participating artists will consider the experience to have been rewarding and something they wish to do again in the future. At the end of the season, a review is conducted with the board in an attempt to evaluate what went well, what didn't, and determine what we should change for the following season. These discussions are largely driven by audience feedback which is obtained in several ways: ? direct, post-concert conversations with audience members ? Feedback on JOYA's Facebook page and website ? An end of season survey intended to collect the audience's suggestions, evaluations of the JOYA concert experience, and demographic information.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We averaged 300 unique views per online concert and in all likelihood many of those views may have had multiple people watching. We can conclude that we far exceeded our desired average "attendance" of 150. The artists involved were thrilled to have the opportunity to perform. There was joy and gratitude from all the artists for this rare opportunity to perform during the pandemic.
