Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We hope to increase the size of our audience by 15% and to increase participation by Latino, African American and South Asian members of our community by 30%. To evaluate this project we will use attendance figures, audience surveys, artist evaluations, and casual comments from participants.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Instead of increasing the size of our audience the weather reduced it to 1/3 of usual. We did meet our goal of increasing participation by Latino and South Asian members of our community -- 80% of the audience for ?Summer Rain" was South Asian and 75% of the audience for Electric Machete Studio was Latino.
