Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Through its artist residency program, Franconia will support up to 40 artists in the creation and exhibition of new three-dimensional artwork. We will evaluate this outcome by surveying emerging and mid-career artists served to assess impact of the residency program in supporting the creation and exhibition of new three-dimensional artwork. 2: Provide 12,000+ community members of all ages and abilities arts learning programming focused on three-dimensional arts. We will evaluate this outcome by conducting audience and participant surveys to assess the qualitative and quantitative impact of programming, measure quantity served, and gather demographic data.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Franconia served 40 artists-in-residence as they created and exhibited new work. Artists completed an exit survey; survey data (both qualitative and quantitative) illustrated the ways in which artist residencies changed behaviors and abilities of participating artists. 2: Franconia provided arts learning programming focused on 3-D arts for 11,116 people of all ages and abilities. Franconia measured the impact of this programming by tracking program metrics and conducting audience and participant surveys.
