Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Raise the quality, types and number of arts opportunities in our region, especially targeted to audiences that would normally not have easy access to live music performances. We will measure outcomes through audience surveys included in the paper programs, through direct questions and answer sessions with audiences, feedback on media venues, and direct conversation with event hosts and participating musicians.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Expanding our audience.
