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 ; Observation ; Surveying (paper or online)

Measurable Outcome(s)

Art-A-Whirl 2021 was a scaled back but joyful event, as 10,000 in-person attendees emerged (masked) from the dark winter of the pandemic, but those not ready to fully engage with in-person (~15,000) were able to participate online or by appointment only. NEMAA used web analytics, Google Forms, conversations with members & attendees, and observation to evaluate the impact of Art-A-Whirl 2021.
