Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

1. We will have 2000 people enjoying the arts over the week period that encompasses ArtBlast; 2. 75% of performers will report that they learned something new from performing in our outdoor venues and interacting with the various audiences. 1. Headcount at each event during ArtBlast. 2. Exit interviews with all performers.

Measurable Outcome(s)

1.) As our 4th successful ArtBlast, one of the outcomes was to enhance the reputation of Rosemount as a community that supports the arts and provides traditional and new/ unique opportunities to experience the arts. We had about 2500 audience participants and over 250 artists taking part in ArtBlast. 2. Our second outcome was to provide a time and place to create art in a low risk environment.
