Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
As a result of this project, a live jazz performance will be presented at the Comet Theater in Cook, Minnesota, featuring the Clearwater Hot Club trio with Evan Price and Charmin Michelle. We aim to reach at least 80 people in the Cook area with this performance and meet or exceed audience expectations for the event. Attendance will be taken at the events and audience members will be solicited for verbal feedback by Northwoods Friends of the Arts volunteers and will be asked to complete a short written survey inserted in their program. The survey will measure audience satisfaction with the event and collect feedback for Northwoods Friends of the Arts on future programming needs.
