Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Community Participation. Success means: high audience numbers (8,000+); audiences underserved by art feel welcome and participate in arts activities; audiences engaging with artists (80+), each other, and the arts community; and the Nokomis East neighborhood is enhanced beyond the event. Artistic. Success means: artists present art of high quality and diversity that triggers engagement, art making and increase in monarch knowledge; emerging artists develop in making, exhibiting and audience engagement; and audiences are introduced to new art resources. Immersive. Success means: positive feedback on services, facilities and art that reflects a collaborative experience between artist and audience. The evaluation plan for the arts components and overall festival includes the collection and documentation of qualitative and quantitative data to determine if the event meets or falls short of its artistic and community goals. Methods will include facilitated discussions, onsite and web-based surveys in English and Spanish, photographs, sign-in sheets and informal interviews on the day of the event. Artists, exhibitors, volunteers, partner organizations and festival goers will be solicited for feedback and suggestions.

Measurable Outcome(s)

One Measure of Success from Application: Artistic (Success means artists present art of high quality and diversity that triggers engagement; audiences are introduced to new artists and resources.) Outcomes: three of the nine hands-on artists and two of the eight performing artists were new to the festival. More than 30% of artists are considered emerging.
