Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Up to 40 writers and artists in all media will be awarded residencies in which to advance their work. All will make community presentations about their work. Center residents will give presentations at a school, senior center, service organization, arts organization, or correctional facilities. Reports and feedback from presentation hosts, the audiences, and the artists will provide evaluation. 2: Three major arts celebrations in summer, fall, and winter will present work by over 200 regional artists, writers, musicians, and performers to 5,000 – 6,000 people of all ages. Attendance at the events and the high percentage of return visitors plus direct feedback to staff from the artists and performers along with letters and emails from attendees about the Center's programs provide important evaluation.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Month-long residencies were provided to 32 artists and writers, each of whom gave a presentation at an area school or community organization. Community hosts and attendees at the presentations on their work by the Center residents praised the value of them, and the host organizations requested to be considered as hosts again in subsequent years. 2: The three major arts celebrations were very well attended and the number of children, parents and grandparents at Children's Book Fair was especially high. Attendance is tabulated by ticket sales and headcounts for the free events such as the Children's Book Fair. Positive press coverage and praise from attendees to Center staff was heartening.
