While we did not have quite as many unique artists creating work at the Phoenix Theater from January through June 2021 as we had initially anticipated, the space was frequently in use, often by returning groups. Several groups used the space to record their art for digital consumption, which they not done prior to COVID-19. With this grant money and a smaller grant from the Lake Street Council, we were able to install a simple recording/live-streaming system in the theater. We evaluated the success of this grant by reviewing our financial information, our rental records, and we had conversations with rental groups. From our observations and conversations, we realized the need for the recording equipment mentioned above.
