Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Goal one: Provide space for local musicians, artists and crafts people to share their art with our community and compensate them fairly for their work. Outcome: Between 24 and 40 local musicians, artists and crafts people preform and/or educate our local community in their art. Goal two: Foster community learning and engagement with each other and different art mediums. Outcome: Over 400 community members come to learn, listen and participate with local artists and crafts folks in our community. We will measure success in a few ways: 1. We will document the number of performers, artists and crafts people. 2. We will document the attendance at the programs. 3. We will capture pictures and create photo documentation of the series. 4. We will have feedback/comment cards available at the events to collect community response to the project.
