By creating partnerships with Asian American groups underserved by the arts, we will reach 1,000 underserved people and double our Community Partners. Audience and partner numbers will be tracked to reach our goals of 1,000 underserved audience and nine new partners (for a total of eighteen). Evaluations will measure audience and partner engagement, satisfaction, and suggestions. 2: More underserved Asian American groups will have a professional arts experience, and 75% of new partners will continue to work with Mu in the future. Increasing Asian American attendance and reaching a 75% new partner retention rate will determine success. We seek to create lasting relationships through this program by overcoming financial, transportation, and perceived barriers to participation.
Mu Performing Arts reached 554 underserved audience members and tripled our Community Partners. 2: Eighteen new Community Partners shared an accessible, high quality arts experience with their constituents through Mu Performing Arts.
