People will have an expanded understanding of how the arts have a positive impact on Monticello culture. They'll see our culture is one we are actively building, by the gatherings we hold and participate in as a collective, and see how creativity and area creatives are an essential part of that.; The variety of activities and types of art this event will expose the community to will inspire people and highlight how positively the arts can impact life in our town. We will station volunteer evaluators at the park to interview attendees exiting the event area. They will be asked for feedback. We'll also monitor online feedback, and meet afterwards with area artists to get feedback and collect ideas for next time.; Post-event feedback will be collected online, at the High School Art Club meeting following the event, and through speaking to attendees at the event.
