Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Reinvigorate in-person arts programming following more than a year of virtual programming - education, gallery, theater, music, community engagement. We will evaluate by measuring numbers - tickets sold, attendance, gallery visits, shop artists/guests, class registrants, and community connections. We are now increasing our volume of in-person opportunity while maintaining an online presence. 2: Continue to increase diversity, equity and inclusion in our organization's leadership, membership, and patronage As we regularly work on continuous improvement to the diversity in our board, we will continue to press into our community engagement efforts to meet our community where it's at and be inclusive and equitable in our approach.
