Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
We encourage local artists/artisans to participate in Art in the Park providing a venue to display their particular talents, giving them access to new potential buyers of their products and to learn of other opportunities to display their work. We will use onsite surveys during the Tuesday Music in the Park as well as conducting interviews during the Saturday Art In the Park. Attendance will be monitored at the Tuesday Music in the Park concerts.
Measurable Outcome(s)
We provided an improved variety of music genre for our audiences to try to appeal to a wide range of age groups represented in our audiences. We also continued to increase participation in the student art content held during Saturday Art in the Park.
