Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Accessible arts experiences will foster a culture of arts participation throughout the Winona area. Surveys and interviews with residents, students, and event attendees; attendance figures for Page Series, Off the Page, and community activities; and observation of audience behaviors. 2: Area residents will expand their understanding of diverse cultures and art forms through participation in performance and community events. Teacher, student, and community surveys; pre- and post-attendance assessments and reports; focus groups with key stakeholders; event-specific information gathering.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Over 6,600 community members of all ages and socioeconomic statuses found value in participating or attending events. Attendance figures (up 14% over previous year), teacher surveys, observation of audience behavior and demographic makeup, one-on-one conversations, focus groups, and conversations with partners were used to evaluate participation and programs. 2: Community members experienced cultures and art forms from India, China, Ireland, Canada, Congo, and the United States through residencies and performances. Event surveys; teacher surveys; feedback walls; and conversations including focus groups, one-on-one talks, volunteer feedback, and staff reflection were used to identify change in understanding and perceived value of activities.
