1 - Area residents and visitors will have viewed twelve new sculptures that have not been previously displayed in Delano. 2 - Area residents and visitors who attended Sculpture Fest Area residents will have experienced new sculptures, heard musical groups that may have been new to them, and connected with artists at the art market. 3 - The sculptors will have gained recognition as new audience members are introduced to their works. 4 - The musicians and the artists in the art market at Sculpture Fest will have gained recognition through exposure to new audience members. 5 - The number of people visiting the sculpture park will have increased as a result of expanded promotional efforts. 6 - The number of youth visiting the sculpture walk will have increased as a result of collaboration with local schools and youth programs. 7 - The audience will have gained knowledge about the artists and various aspects of the sculpture and the creative process. 8 - The community will have developed a stronger sense of pride in our community and in the sculpture park. The audience will be invited to complete an online survey to provide feedback. The audience has an opportunity to cast a vote for the People's Choice Sculpture from among the works displayed for a year as part of the annual sculpture walk. To encourage participation, an incentive will be offered in the form of a prize drawing from all surveys submitted by Labor Day, 2023. We will continue to accept surveys after that date, but the vote for People's Choice will not be counted. We use the survey to capture demographic details of our audience. A separate child-friendly survey will engage and introduce children to the world of sculpture by letting them vote for their favorite piece. The uploaded survey example is the actual survey we are using for the second annual sculpture walk, which is currently in progress. The sculptures pictured for voting are those on the 2022 sculpture walk. Please note that in the survey example, question #1 applies to everyone. Questions #2 - #5 (pages 1 ? 4) apply to those who select their age group as 0 to 18 years of age. Those who indicated they are 19 years and older are asked to respond to questions #6 -15 (pages 5 ? 9). The Arts Council will also solicit feedback through conversations with the City and city commissions, the public art review committee members, key community leaders, and the artists. Members of the council will seek feedback from members of the public as well through our own deep connections into the community.
