Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We will engage approximately 1,000 people in N. Minneapolis with an exhibit of over 20 different Minneapolis and Minnesotan artists with connections to the Laomagination movement over the last 20 years with 50%+ audience members participating in Laomagination events for the very first time. We are documenting both qualitative and quantitative feedback from one-on-one and small group interviews, pre- and post-event surveys, social media responses, oral and written responses in guest books and other correspondence.

Measurable Outcome(s)

For our Quantitative results, we had at least 823 participants based on headcount reports from organizers and volunteers at the New Rules space during this time period. For our Qualitative results, the results showed that 73% of respondents had come to a Lao American artist's event for the first time.
