Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of having a community arts hub, artists are provided a space to sell, teach, and learn which creates an atmosphere for expanded community growth and education through sharing of ideas and diversity in mediums, bringing about individual change. Artists as well as community members will be surveyed regarding the impact this community arts hub is making / or has made on their lives.

Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of the second year of CAS grant funding, community members experienced an increase in their art skills by participating in the arts via classes and workshops. They also had an opportunity to view art, thereby garnering interest in the arts.The funding also provided emerging and experienced artists an avenue to display and sell their art through a gallery setting as well as increase their skills through advanced classes and workshops.
