Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Up to 35 writers and artists in all media will be awarded residencies at the Center to advance their work. Each resident will give a presentation at a school or community group. The residents submit written evaluations of the value of their stays (two or four weeks in length) at the Center and in addition meet with the executive director during and at the end of the residency to talk about their time spent at the Center. 2: The Center's three major Arts Celebrations will be attended by 3,000 - 5,000 visitors of all ages. The Center's summer, fall and winter arts celebrations feature up to 150 artists, musicians and performers and attract visitors of all ages from a wide region. Attendance numbers and comments of exhibiting artists are the gauge of achievement. The Center also tracks sales of artwork and press coverage.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Residencies were awarded to 34 writers and artists, all of whom gave presentations at regional schools and community organizations. The attendance at Arts Celebrations was strong and the demographics were broader than ever from toddlers to grandparents.
