Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The Artistic Goals of this festival are to provide 500-700 festival attendees with exposure to the rich arts and culture of local residents from countries around the world through 15- twenty country displays and 5-7 performances of ethnic dance and music. 90% of festival artists and participants will report positive interactions and interest in continued participation with the event. Evaluation of the International Festival is done through tracking the number of participants, attendees and the quality of their experience. Follow-up surveys to artists and volunteers give invaluable information to the project leaders. Photographs are taken to visually document the event.
