Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Carnaval Brasileiro will involve over 50 amateur and professional performers before a crowd of over 400 attendees. 80% of attendees will experience new Brazilian art, music, or dance through participating in this event. We will evaluate our artist and audience numbers through a participant count. To gage the level of new Brazilian themed experiences for audiences we will assign a team of volunteers to survey a significant sample of attendees both during the event and post-performance.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The Roseville Parks and Rec. Board estimated that at least 350 people were in attendance at our event. Several more attending our outdoor mask-making, Brazilian dance, and Brazilian music workshops which took place at Minnehaha Park. All events were held outdoors and for many was their first live re-engagement with the arts since the COVID pandemic began.
