Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
More community and nonprofit organizations become involved in presenting touring artists and arts organizations.
Measurable Outcome(s)
1. This project expanded on previous arts presenting by developing the Performing Arts Series’ reputation as the most diverse presenter of performing arts in the community. This is a niche we have been working to establish for five years, and it is paying off. Ticket sales stayed steady with last year, which were up 30 percent from the year before that. 2. Evaluation took place through audience surveys included in every program of the season, compiled and tabulated; through ticket sales reports and discussions with the Performing Arts Series Advisory Board.
