Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

36 Vail Place members participated in the project and over 400 people saw their performances live and online. Post-event interviews showed that 95% of participants indicated the artistic process increased their appreciation for the arts and benefited their personal growth and mental health recovery. We will gather a count of both participants and audience members. We will use surveys, one-on-one interviews, and a post-performance feedback sessions to gather responses from participants and audience members.
