As a result of this program, participants in the Bemidji Pride festival will experience an awareness of 2SLGBTQ+ artists in the Bemidji Area through musical performances and artistic vendors, which could lead to positive attitudes towards the 2SLGBTQ+ community as a whole. Evaluation methods include a survey, interviews, and artistic expression. All will be measured during the event to help capture audience attitude toward and awareness of the 2SLGBTQ+ community in the greater Bemidji Area community.
