Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The studio space is a place where local established and emerging artists can work on their projects unencumbered and become more productive. This is also a potential venue location for area artists to show and market their work during specified events. The studio space will have room to be a second location for art classes. The general public will benefit from having a more permanent art presence in the community. Studies have shown that the arts in a community improve the quality of life. The number of artists who use the studio will be tracked and given surveys. Examples of questions: How does the access to studio space help your productivity as an artist? What type of projects have you worked on utilizing the space? What medium did/do you use - i.e.: oil, acrylics, watercolor, etc.? What are your plans for using the space in the future? Should special painting days or evenings" be scheduled? Do you have any photos of your work to share? Additional comments or suggestions?"
