Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Because it is our first year hosting MinnesoThai, our outcome goals is to reach 1,000 adults able to experience the festival and for 70 percent of the participants who take the survey to enjoy the show. We will have the audience count through ticket sales. There will be an exit survey for participants to fill out at the festival to gauge their overall experience with incentives to take the survey.

Measurable Outcome(s)

With our virtual MinnesoThai that was broken down into 7 distinct videos, we amassed roughly 3,500 views. Through our live we were still able to broadcast 8 different local artists ranging from live music, to Thai traditional music, to Thai traditional dancing. Through this we were able to extend access to many in our community though reach was smaller than we had hoped for.
