Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

3: "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." A new stage curtain will not only enhance the performing space, but replace unsafe equipment and materials. Audiences and performers will benefit from new, safe materials at Memorial Auditorium. The purchase and installation of new equipment will be the final documentation of this project's goal. We will know that we achieved our outcome when the new Olio Traveler curtain is fully installed, the hanging chains have been replaced and Memorial Auditorium has a freshened, beautiful new black curtain to enhance every performance.
