Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Create and respond to opportunities for artists to shape and transform the experience of public places. Outcomes measured by number of projects produced/created, artists and volunteers engaged, and by surveys, interviews, and focus groups that analyze artists’ future careers and use of public space. 2: Embody and advance a new form of public art through the practice of City Art. Outcomes measured by analysis of the artistic quality, the scope of City Art projects, the broad engagement of artists in City Art, and the place City Art holds in the national practice of public art.

Measurable Outcome(s)

CREATE: The Community Meal fulfilled and responded to the vision of artist Seitu Jones which arose from his artistic practice deeply rooted in the Frogtown neighborhood. Success was measured by the number of projects produced/created, artists and volunteers engaged. CREATE engaged 24 artists, over 500 volunteers, and had a total audience of 3830 people. Ongoing food discussions will extend the project’s mission. 2: City Artists implemented three City Art demonstration projects that serve as an example of artist integration into the civic process. Success was measured by the number of City Artist projects realized in City system initiatives, expanded City financial and PR investment in those projects, and City interest in ongoing implementation of demonstration projects.
