Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

MPLS (imPulse) will create two meaningful and community-driven experiences that will reach audiences in diverse and nontraditional performance spaces that are related to the theme of the program. After each concert, MPLS (imPulse) sends a survey to attendees to ask about perceived entertainment value, performance quality, artistic merit, and adherence to our stated mission and values. These answers help us sort demographic data, learn how our audience members heard about the performance to inform future marketing efforts, and give them the opportunity to tell us what they would like to see (and hear) in the future. Survey responses are anonymous.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Outcomes were not achieved due to COVID-19 barriers. Due to the nature of the project, online alternatives were deemed not a viable alternative. The project has been postponed for the unforeseeable future.
