Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We forecast 65 youth participants, 6 artists will teach, and 200 audience members, on average, will watch 9 performances. We anticipate 90% of youth participants will indicate their ability to express themselves creatively was enhanced from their County Arts-In experiences.We will evaluate our anticipated outcomes by counting participants and audience members. We will have a post county fair meeting to obtain comments from directors, participants, artists, and volunteers.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The greatest outcome for the County Arts-In show is the percentage of students that participate the following year -- approximately 80%. Students who traditionally have no association with the performing arts in a school environment give Arts-In a try. The professional artists who assist with the production like working with the students. It is truly a Do It Yourself production.
