The spring 2021 vaccine rollout and relaxation of social distancing mandates combined with doing all our programming outdoors contributed immensely to a greater-than-projected impact & outreach for this project. The Driveway Tour (DWT)--initially projected to have only 6 shows--performed a total of 49 times across the Metro and as far afield as Red Wing and Stillwater; 75% of our hosting sites/partners were partnering with the DWT for the first time, significantly expanding our outreach into new communities w/ 2796 people attending; 50% of the lead positions on the project were BIPoC artists! By combining the original Sidewalk Spectacle + Storytelling show into a single larger project called LOG JAM!, we were able to engage an additional 12 artists (27 overall vs our original 15) and perform 16 shows (4 more than proposed for a total audience of 1360; of 8 performers, 50% were BIPoC-identified artists. Evaluation for each project was by emailed survey + post-show learning sessions.
