Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

For Make Music Twin Cities 2018, the outcomes we're pursuing are to host twenty Mass Appeal events, create event space for 300 artists to perform hosted by 70 venues throughout the Twin Cities, reach a cumulative audience of 2,000 people, and build and strengthen our community partnerships. To evaluate our event, we plan to use online surveys post-event and host in-person discussions with organizers and key participants to distill what went well and what could be improved for the next year.
