Local Arts Initiative

The intended outcomes are: 85% of students would report exploring something they had not had a chance to experience before the conference; 90% of participants would rate the sessions Good to Excellent; Students will provide positive qualitative comments about what they learned during conference sessions; Adult participants will provide qualitative comments about how the experience positively influenced the students that they chaperoned. A survey is conducted following the conference to determine the perceptions of youth and adult participants. All the data collected will be used to evaluate the conference and the presenting artists. Information gleaned from the evaluation will be used to make changes to future conferences (i.e., adding different sessions, making logistical changes, considering possible keynote presentations, etc.).
