Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Regional residents experience increased access to the arts and arts activity via the active presence of a gallery space in our historic downtown. Evaluation methods include paper surveys administered during classes and special events such as open houses and anecdotal evidence gathered orally during interactions between teachers and participants during workshops, classes, and open houses for special events. A daily tally will also be kept of visitors of the gallery space.
