50% of audience members will have a better understanding of the Twin Cities art scene. We will provide surveys to our audiences, and spot interviews. We will use the information for debriefing meetings to improve future planning.
The project served approximately 80 audience members and a number of 18 artists throughout the project period. The project allowed our theater company to achieve two major outcomes: a) raise its visibility in the community it serves and, b) build relationships with a number of artists we would otherwise not have the opportunity to engage.
