Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

TCCGC wants to expand our reach into North Minneapolis by lowering the cost to our concert and thereby, reducing a potential financial barrier. MRAC grant funds would enable us to sell tickets at $10 each to our 2020 spring concert. We believe that by removing this financial barrier, we could sell at least 200 tickets. The success of our concerts is measured by total ticket sales, and audience feedback via online surveys of concert audience members. Review of concert videos and audio recordings helps the artistic director to evaluate the technical aspects of the program, and new likes on Facebook, website visits and requests to be added to mailing lists are further indicators of project success.
