Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The capacity of those providing arts experiences is increased or strengthened by changing, expanding, or enriching the ways in which they connect to their communities through the arts. Regional residents experience a change in knowledge, attitude, behavior or condition due to new and expanded arts activity made possible due to the CAS administrative/operational support. Evaluation methods include a written questionnaire (evaluation format) administered in the spring (timing) to measure musical improvement skills (summary of questions) in Chorale members (target audience). Evaluation methods include informal chats/interviews (evaluation format) administered after concerts (timing) to measure reactions to our music (summary of questions) in our audience members from the community (target audience) as well as a written questionnaire to Chorale members.
