Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Using local artist groups, we will create a series of at least three (3) daytime, midweek matinee events geared toward older adults in our community. We will use surveys and interviews to gauge the importance of providing daytime matinees for a population that is not regularly included in such opportunities; we will measure a change in participant attitude before and after this experience.
