Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Participant surveys will show that 70% of respondents engaged in a new art activity or experienced a new form of art. Additionally, participating artist surveys will show that they felt the event was useful and rewarding and helped bridge new connections. Participants will be surveyed at the event through interactions, printed surveys, and observation. Following the event, participants (attendees, artists, exhibitors) will be surveyed through online methods and feedback solicitation.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Over 1500 people attended the event, and 26 artists participated. Based upon Artist feedback, over 900 attendees directly participated in an art activity (listening to performance, engaging in a craft, conversation) and the actual number is likely higher, due to the quantity of art opportunities (12) and the small footprint of the festival.
