Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, 90% of the multi-generational audience will confirm they have a new understanding and appreciation for the history and music of the blues and plan on attending similar events the future. Evaluation will occur counting actual audience members, a follow-up meeting with planners, and data from a questionnaire/exit interview provided to each attendee and performer which asks if the festival promoted women in music positively, can they list one thing learned about the history of blues music, and would they attend or perform in a similar venue?
