Measurable Outcome(s)
Quantitatively, we hoped to engage 30 artists and 400 audience members. Engagement was 35 artists and 450 audience members. Qualitatively, we hoped to offer Twin Cities art patrons the highest quality and most diverse offering of jazz and rhythm-driven dance the area has to offer. Survey data has indicated the patrons were very satisfied with their experiences (survey response rate of 24%).
