Major Maintenance's evaluation methods included interviews with participants and MOVO co-leaders as well as reviewing project financial information and goals. Feedback indicated that mid-career artists were able to deepen their practice and deepen their connections to collaborators and community. Specifically, several participants/artists indicated they were able to spontaneously research ideas without the hassle and financial burden of securing rehearsal space. Participants expressed disappointment about the cancellation of the Major Maitenance meet-up ( the sharing of practices/work among the cohort) due to COVID-19. When MOVO initially announced Major Maitenance to the community, we received a stronger response than expected. To be responsive to this interest, Major Maintenance expanded support from 5 to 8 artists.
