Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The intended outcome of the arts program is to allow patrons the opportunity to experience a variety of different artistic performances in a variety of different venues that they would not otherwise be able to attend.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Surveys were distributed to participants at all programs. 55% of the patrons said they were no sure they would be able to attend this event without the free tickets. 35% of the patrons said they would not be able to attend this event and only 10% of the patrons said they would be able to attend this event without the free tickets. Comments: This was great fun!! These tickets go so fast, very popular Legacy programs!

Source of Additional Funds

17 libraries provided free tickets to patrons, promotion for the programs, and approximately 15 regional newspapers provided marketing through press releases, photos and interviews with artists and performers.
The REIF Center provided the tickets to ALS at a discounted price.
