Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
We are continuing to search for funding to reach our goal of maintaining our studio space and our five annual major events. To move forward on that goal, we will hire a marketing consultant to design and implement a program to make the public more aware of our performances, and increase ticket sales.
Measurable Outcome(s)
We organized volunteers to research funders to provide support for our studio and events. We continue to receive support from funders that support our efforts in the arts. We solicit audience feedback through surveys that are included in programs, and informal conversations. The artistic director, executive director, board, event coordinator, and volunteers review attendance, sales, expenses, and discuss feedback.
