Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Our event seeks to have an audience of over 500 participants including more than 40 musicians and dancers. Through online surveys and in person surveys that pose the question whether our event was enriching, culturally informative, and valued by the participants. We will be able to count the numbers of attendees through ticket sales. We will solicit opinions of the program through a team of volunteers doing surveys at the event itself and via online surveys sent out to those who purchased tickets via their email.

Measurable Outcome(s)

375 audience members attended our event which featured 27 different musicians, dancers, DJs and performers.
