This project serves a considerable amount of artist, attendees, and production participants. Approximately 220 viewers attended the showcase last year with usually 200 attendees the prior years. Our audience is growing. Attendees served last year were approximately 40 kids, 35 seniors, 80 teens, and 65 adults. The night of the showcase, evaluation sheets will be passed out to attendees upon their arrival and collected on their way out. A week after the showcase, an evaluation sheet will be emailed to presenters, staff, technicians, project leaders, board, and volunteers for feedback on overall production success encouraging suggestions to strengthen future showcases.
The Community was thrilled by the event and the level of diversity. Approximately 235 people attended the showcase by 13 different presenters. This was reflected in the excellent ratings from the evaluation sheets. 98% of attendees indicated that they would appreciate seeing more community arts activities such as our showcases at this venue in the near future.
