Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We will be able to showcase a rotation of local art in the display cases on a regular basis to provide visitors with a realization of the talent within our community and provide our artists with the recognition they deserve. We will be able to display the artwork in the Paramount Visual Arts Center from various artists in a high traffic area without risk of the pieces receiving damage or theft.We will be providing a guest book for viewers to sign and add comments on the art that is being displayed. We will be keeping track of the different programs the Visual Arts Center provides and the number of attendees. We will also take into consideration that an immeasurable percentage of visitors will be from the Paramount Theatre Events. This is a heavy traffic area and we are confident that it will be seen by a substantial amount of adults and children.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We have already hung art in the display cases, which will be on display during the November art crawl. This will provide visitors with a realization of the talent within our community and provide our artists with the recognition they deserve. We are able
