Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Increase access to and participation in the arts by continuing to grow and develop this relatively new event. The June Bloom Committee gauges success by the number of artists who participate in the event and by feedback received. All participating artists are asked to complete a survey. The Committee also performs an "eye test" to estimate attendance.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Survey results suggest that our goal of exposing residents to the arts was met.
