Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Attendee and Community Participation. Success means: high audience numbers; audiences underserved by artistic opportunities feel welcome and participate in arts activities; audiences engage with artists, each other and the arts community; and the Nokomis East neighborhood is enhanced beyond the event. Artistic. Success means: artists present art of high quality and diversity that triggers engagement, art making, and increase in monarch knowledge; and emerging artists develop skills in creating, exhibiting, and audience engagement. Immersive. Success means: positive feedback on services, facilities, and art that reflects a collaborative experience between artist and audience. Operations. Success means: effective collaborations; new committee member and volunteer participation; community skill-building; and advancing low-waste goals. Financial. Success means: increased earned and donated revenue; a balanced budget; and fair compensation for artists. The evaluation plan for the arts components and overall festival includes the collection and documentation of qualitative and quantitative data to determine if the event meets or falls short of its artistic and community goals. Methods will include onsite and web-based surveys in English and Spanish, photographs, and informal interviews on the day of the event. Artists, exhibitors, volunteers, partner organizations, and festival goers will be solicited for feedback and suggestions.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Participation. Estimated 2,500 adults and 1,500 kids. Noticed a decrease in Spanish-speakers. Artistic. Two performing arts groups and five hands-on artists. Two new to the festival. Immersive. Artists provided detailed instructions for kit projects to learn about them and their artistic process. Videos too. Operations. Satisfactory. Financial. Reduced expenses to match reduced income.
