Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We hope to have at least 500 people visit in the event hosted by at least 20 business hosts or sponsors, showcasing the art of 40 or more visual artists, 10 musical artists, and 3-5 other performing artists. Visitors will express having a positive experience related to art and community, feel more connected to the avenue and feel more positively about their community. The West Side will start to be seen as a destination for arts and culture.We will conduct visitor count and audience surveys by email or online as well as paper the day of. We will also ask for feedback from the participating artists, business hosts, and individual hosts. There will be a debrief and celebration following the event with participants from all groups invited to provide feedback.
