ACHF Cultural Heritage
Continue to showcase Latino performers and artists and increase Latino participation in all aspects of the Festival. We will evaluate this outcome based on the number of Latinos participating as part of the planning team, artists, musicians, vendors, educators, and volunteers. We will also collect qualitative data on Latino experiences in these areas.
The 2015 Minneapolis Monarch Festival showcased Latino artists and increased Latino participation in many aspects of the Festival. Quantitative data was collected by MPRB staff and planning team members, and through photo documentation. Several methods were used to capture qualitative feedback and evaluations from the planning team, festival goers, volunteers, vendors, artists, and exhibitors. This included on-site bilingual feedback postcards, planning team conversations, post-it notes and a map, SurveyMonkey, and more formal, one on one scripted bilingual interviews. 2: The 2015 Minneapolis Monarch Festival - Festival de la Monarca presented a variety of Minnesota musicians and visual artists. Descriptive data, provided by the musicians or artists, and collected by MPRB staff show that the Festival hosted a variety of artists. Musicians and performers showcased blues, Atzec dance, salsa, Latin dance, charanga, and the joyful noise of brass instruments. Artist led endeavors included print-making, clay creations, collage, small paper construction, as well as two puppet shows.
