We hope to increase the size of our audience by 20% and to increase participation by Latino members of our community by 50%. To evaluate this project we will use attendance figures, audience surveys, artist evaluations, and casual comments from participants.
Over 750 people attended the 2017 Summer Performance Series season. The threat of bad weather at two of the performances caused us to miss our goal of increasing audience by 20%. We also fell short of our goal of increasing Latino participation. Recently we held a community dialogue and we hope the connections and the communication suggestions we received will help us be successful in the future.
