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 ; Community dialogue (group conversations with a large group) ; Observation ; Surveying (paper or online)

Measurable Outcome(s)

We accomplished our four Virtual Rough Cuts (RC), plus four other artistic projects. The four RC projects created an online community, including audience members new to us, and included 2 excerpts from MOONLIGHT WALK HOME; 3 short films created by high-school filmmakers from Film North, collaborating with professional Nautilus writers and composers; 2 excerpts from THE LIMIT OF THE SUN, a new opera dealing with international social justice and class struggle; and 4 excerpts from STATIONS OF THE HEART in-process. Evaluations included online audience talkback sessions (both live and in Zoom chat) and private conversations with artists. All four RC resulted in further development. YEAR OF WONDER was a developmental session for the artists; FEED THE DUCKS was offered online and on-site with Abiiton nursing home with an extensive staff/artist debriefing; SUMMER OF LOVE and STATIONS OF THE HEART were live performances (with COVID protocols), followed by written audience evaluations.
