Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

1. To celebrate and showcase the visual arts in our building's aesthetics. 2. To provide learning work sessions to our community enabling them to create mosaic art. 3. To encourage cultural diversity with salutations in the languages of those performers that have visited our entity. 4. To recognize those that have financially supported the project. 5. To feature local art done by artists in our region. 6. To offer ongoing visual art space for our community.1. We will place comment cards out in several locations for patrons to fill out and leave at the office or box office. 2. Continue our comment wall for patrons to leave comments after theatre productions with prompting questions to get their feedback on the space.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We learned that our community embraces zany ideas when they are presented in a practical and thoughtful manner. Our past problem was we needed to replace our carpeting and we needed to do more for visual arts. People appreciated that we were creative in solving this problem by coming up with the penny floor concept and also valued that we are doing more for visual arts. The Penny Jars sparked so many conversations and actual penny donations as people remembered that they had a jar full of coins at home. Could they donate them? Of course! Our staff and ushers shared so many tales of people’s positive reactions to the new aesthetic changes in the building.
