At least three Latinx visual artists will be featured in the Festival and have a positive experience. The outcome will be evaluated at a bilingual, reflection meeting over a communal meal for visual artists, to listen and record their experience with the Festival and its impact.
Five Latinx visual artists were featured at the Festival and had a positive experience. The MPRB hosted a bilingual reflection meeting and meal at the Nokomis Community Center. This was a comfortable setting and means to have honest discussion about what worked and what could be improved for artists' experience with the Festival.
