If you are a youth arts group in Toronto how do you measure success? It can’t be just about revenues. Or huge crowds to local events.
What we can measure is the cultural impact of Manifesto on our community at large.
Artdata is an interactive data visualization funded by the Laidlaw Foundation and the Toronto Arts Council that gathered data on the programs and reach of 12 youth arts groups across the city. The interactive map, the Toronto Star Website, and ArtData on our own website will be launched today.
Here is sneak peek at the footprint of the Manifesto programs of 2014.
So Toronto: this is how WE measure success! Total number of programs across the city!
This is how we measure the global impact of our Manifesto messengers. Tour dates for 8 Manifesto messages between 1999-2003.
This is how our community – 12 other youth-arts led organizations – spell success! This is our collective footprint – measured by outreach programs, participation, audience and community partnerships.
And if you want to see just how some of our young artists get around check this out!
