Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

1. Bring high quality arts experiences to a greater number of children and young adults in Bloomington. Evaluate the number of participants and written evaluations from students to assess the effectiveness of curriculum and instructors.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Bloomington Theatre and Art Center increased the number of youth served by ten percent overall. In FY 2012, we served a total of 1,216 youth, including 504 through tuition-based programming (up 22%), approximately 505 through outreach activities (up 3%), and 207 through exhibitions of their work (up 4%). We also succeeded in ensuring high quality. For tuition-based programming, we measured quality through evaluations completed by students. For outreach activities and exhibitions, we relied on anecdotal evaluations from teaching artists, collaborative partners, and parents.
