Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Engage diverse audiences at a deeper level. Program ten artist/audience mixers after shows and at gallery events; add 25 new engaged ambassadors through participation in fundraising committee, events planning committee, parents' social networking outreach groups, and high-quality volunteer opportunities. 2: Grow appreciation for diverse art forms. Blend events so that our theater and visual arts audiences cross over: attract 150 visual arts attenders to theater events; increase sales of artwork by $2,500 by using our gallery as a lobby for theater events and thereby engaging our theater audience in the visual arts experience.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We broadened the diversity of our audiences, and engaged them at a deeper level of participation with many aspects of our work. We grew appreciation for diverse art forms, both theater and visual arts.
