Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The Buffalo Art Guild will provide a high level of artistic programming for the community by inviting renowned artists to demonstrate their methods and/or to teach by inviting the audience to participate in the production of artwork. All Guild meetings are open to the public.Remuneration for guest artists and attendance numbers at meetings and other special events will be recorded. A survey will be taken to gather opinions about the benefits of each program. Photos will be taken and submitted to the local newspaper and posted on our Art Guild Facebook page.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Exceptional programs were offered to the public and an art show was provided for elementary school children. We collected evaluation forms from attendees for all meetings and counted attendance at events. The overwhelming consensus was positive regarding the quality of presentations.
