City of Louisville Art Program Grant Evaluation Congratulations on receiving a Louisville Art Grant! We appreciate your efforts in advocating for and supporting greater diversity of the artistic experiences within the Louisville community. Within 60 days of the completion of your event, please provide written answers to the following questions. The LCC appreciates a candid assessment of your event, the impact upon the Louisville community and how you assess your overall community reach. Name of Organization or Artist: Ambient Experience Collaborative Partners (if applicable): Christoph Scholtes, Mark Mosher, Malia Martinez, Victor Martinez Title of Event/Program: Ambient Experience 2023 - An Evening of Ambient Music and Immersive Visuals Amount of Art Grant Award: $300 Program Goal(s): 1. Enrich the local Louisville cultural landscape with an offering off the beaten path. 2. Provide a platform for local ambient artists to showcase their work individually and in collaboration with other artists. 3. Establish a center of excellence for ambient music in Boulder County with live performances and future educational events (for example "artist talks"). Our artist statement: The term "Ambient" music was first coined by English musician Brian Eno, who describes it as "an atmosphere, a tint... designed to induce calm and space to think". Today, Ambient music is a diverse sub -genre of music in general and electronic music specifically. Ambient music creates landscapes of natural and artificial sounds generated and processed with analog and digital equipment. It is the goal of this project to combine live performances of Ambient electronic music with components of visual art to create an immersive Ambient Experience. Please describe the impact your event had on the community: Numbers of individuals reached: The event had 36 attendees for the performances at the Louisville Center for the Arts. The video of the performances will be uploaded to YouTube once editing is complete and based on previous experience (from 2021) we expect to reach —1000 more individuals with the video on YouTube. The target release date for the 2023 performance video is October 2023. How did you attract your target audience? We primarily used online promotion on social media (Facebook, Instagram) and our website. We posted in local Louisville Facebook groups (incl. Neighborhood -specific groups) and music -specific groups (Louisvilla and Lafayette area music communities), and the Louisville Cultural Council also posted about the event on their Facebook page. Additionally, the artists posted on their individual social media pages (Facebook, Instagram, etc). Did the activity generate any unexpected outcomes or impacts? The event did not generate any unexpected outcomes or impacts.
