Artistic Excellence Criterion: Is the proposed program of high artistic quality or significance to the Louisville community? Summary of Artistic Excellence Scale: • 5 — Excellent: Exceptional quality, groundbreaking or highly original, and impactful and engaging. Offers a lasting artistic contribution. • 4 — Good: Strong quality and artistic significance, with a clear vision, but not as innovative or boundary -pushing as a "5" level project. • 3 — Satisfactory: Competent, well -executed, but lacking originality or depth. Meets basic artistic standards but does not stand out. • 2 — Fair: Limited artistic quality, underdeveloped, or conventional. The work may lack originality, skill, or significance. • 1— Poor: Poor artistic quality, lacking in creativity, skill, and/or execution. No meaningful contribution to the artistic community. This scale assesses artistic merit in terms of both execution (craftsmanship, technical skill) and originality (creativity, innovation), while considering the impact and engagement of the project to the Louisville community. It emphasizes how the project either contributes to or elevates the local cultural landscape, helping ensure that the work has a lasting artistic and cultural impact. Community Relevance Criterion: Does this project engage the Louisville community in a meaningful way? This could be by engaging new audiences, reaching audiences that lack access to similar programs, engaging with a topic that is relevant to the residents of Louisville, or exploring a new topic that would be enriching to the citizens of Louisville. This could also be done by partnering with a relevant school or organization in Louisville. (If the project involves a school/organization, it needs to be clear that the organization is able to receive the project/services). Summary of Community Relevance Scale: • 5 — Excellent: Deep, broad, and meaningful engagement with Louisville's diverse community, addressing relevant issues or enrichment needs. It broadens access to cultural or artistic experiences for underserved or marginalized communities, and/or explores a relevant topic that resonates deeply with the city's diverse populations. • 4 — Good: The project is relevant to the Louisville community, engaging audiences or groups who may not have regular access to similar cultural experiences. It may not address an immediate or pressing community need, but it still provides meaningful opportunities for learning, engagement, or enrichment.
