Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Integrate the arts into all facets of community life, including public spaces, civic partnerships, and events. LAC will use data (# events, audiences, use of public arts spaces), research measuring the socio-economic impact of the arts in the community, and feedback from partners to evaluate this outcome. 2: Offer increased opportunities for both professional artists and community members to participate in the arts. LAC will work with local partners, artists, and audiences to determine the success derived from an increase in the quality and the number of public art, programming, and educational experiences.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Within cross-sector partnerships, LAC created a shared aesthetic and economic vision, which strengthened the identity of the city as an arts campus. Through collected qualitative and quantitative data, LAC used feedback to evaluate the diversification of artistic experiences across the community. Data was collected through surveys, personal interviews, social media statistics, and program figures. 2: LAC expanded and strengthened programming to increase opportunities within multiple spaces throughout the town for a variety of audiences. Measured 1) increased partnerships within the region 2) positive feedback from artists and community members about new/continued programs 3) collected data showing the No. of programs and opportunities offered to encourage participation in the arts.
