Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

A reduction in geographic, cultural and/or physical barriers to arts participation; a change in knowledge, attitude, behavior or condition due to arts events; arts groups' are strengthened by connecting to their communities through the arts; artists expand and improve their work and the way in which they create it; artists connect to new audiences, building relationships that provide artistic growth. Interviews/Conversations with participants ; Interviews/Conversations with board/staff/leaders ; Reviewing recorded information or documentation (such as finances, attendance records, work plans) ; Observation

Measurable Outcome(s)

More Than A Single Story embraces the spirit of our title in evaluating our work: we ask participating artists, audience members, presenting partners, and Board/Advisory Council members what worked for them, what didn't, and what ideas they could share for future events. These conversations take place one-to-one, in formalized small groups who come together for this purpose, and in continuing casual dialogue throughout our artistic and cultural communities. We work with a contract accountant who tracks and reports finances. And now in virtual space, we can easily track attendance and save chats for later review of responses.
