Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Residents build connections to their own and others? cultural heritage through events and/or activities; MN folk and traditional artists/audiences are expanded; MN folk and traditional artists see an increase in demand for work. Interviews/Conversations with participants ; Interviews/Conversations with board/staff/leaders ; Reviewing recorded information or documentation (such as finances, attendance records, work plans) ; Observation ; Surveying (paper or online)

Measurable Outcome(s)

We have achieved two main goals of providing artists a place to perform and expand representation of Asian community including Asian LGBTQ community. Through online survey, the participants expressed how much they enjoyed the variety and the quality of the event and how to navigate the event online. At the same time, the survey showed us to some elders, it was difficult to navigate the online format in which we need more improvement in creating better instruction for them.
