Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Recognize and address real or perceived barriers to participation in the arts. Our Lunch and Learn programs and annual Scholarship Recital are free and open to the public. These events are held in venues that are handicap accessible. We will measure the outcome using data collection of these points: Number of events held within the reporting period, attendance at each event, membership renewals/growth, and donations.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Because we had funds to cover administrative expenses, we were able to use other funding for “Lunch & Learn” education events and additional scholarships.
