Create art experiences that spark discovery, critical thinking, and transformation. Attendance is a key indicator of success, along with the active participation of visitors. Tracking numbers, observing participation, and processing audience surveys and feedback are also key evaluation tools.
Measurable Outcome(s)
WAM produced eleven exhibitions and 26 public programs, including free conversations, WAM Chatters, a “pop-up park”, student design showcase, and Sonic Image Ensemble, a new resident music group. WAM counted onsite admissions and tracked online connections through Facebook, Twitter, and WAM’s website using Google analytics and other data capture methods. Audience surveys were collected and tabulated after public programs.
