Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

3500 people will attend the exhibition by 20 different artists. We will engage refugee and non-refugee stakeholders at the event, and conduct a survey for artists participating about their experiences. 80% of participants attended will indicate their knowledge was enhanced. We will evaluate through day event attendance, media attention from cultural and mainstream media, expansion of planning committee, survey collected from both artists and audiences, funds raised from corporation and sponsors, and increased vendor booths from last year.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Over 3500 attendees came out to celebrate with 72 organizations and local businesses, sixteen media outlets, 71 volunteers, and twelve performers. Attendees ranked the event an average 4.3/5 with 98% saying they would be likely to attend again with the performances and the community as their favorite aspects. 100% of vendors/organizations that responded would like to be involved in the event again.
