Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We seek to increase our arts programming. Progress will be measured by year-to-year comparisons of programming presented, as well as the types of art showcased. 2: We seek to increase cultural equity and diversity as well as unite the artistic communities and audiences we serve. Progress will be measured by year-to-year comparisons of the amount of community partnerships developed around programming events.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Our arts programming increased by 24% over last year. This benefited the artists that we paid for their talents and the attending community members. We keep a calendar of arts programming events in which we can compare year to year. The 24% increase was determined by comparing the number of arts programming events offered July 2015-June 2016 compared to July 2016-July 2017. 2: Our community partnerships increased by 63% over last year. This benefited the community by providing cultural and diversified experiences. We keep a calendar of programming events focused on partnerships in which we can compare year to year. The 63% increase was determined by comparing the number of partnership events offered July 2015-June 2016 compared to July 2016-July 2017.
