Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Our measurable outcomes include bringing attendance numbers back up over 1000 people and at least 35% are new to the festival. We also learning that more than 80% of attendees tried an art activity offered at the festival and enjoyed the experience. This year’s survey will focus more on demographic and tracking of arts engagement; the survey will primarily be done onsite at the festival via a roaming volunteer who distributes surveys and offers a free raffle ticket for any completed. An online version of this survey is also shared via email and social media after the event for additional results.

Measurable Outcome(s)

51 artists were compensated for their artistic involvement in the festival. This includes teaching artists, performers, and crafts-people. 40% of event attendees who filled out the survey were new to the festival, showing that we are expanding our reach as an organization. The 29 volunteer shifts were filled weeks before the event and 14 brand new Banfill-Locke Center for the Arts volunteers were part of the event.
