Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Regional residents experience increased access to the arts and arts activity via the active presence of an art gallery and studio space in our facility. Regional artists expand and improve their work and the way in which they create it due to the arts studio space supported by this grant award. Evaluation methods include distributing surveys after each art workshop to measure satisfaction with the instructor and physical space by the participants. After concerts and Open Mic nights, surveys are distributed to measure the satisfaction of the participants in the bands, sound, physical space and what can be improved upon.
