Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Jazz Festival 19 will attract 12,000 people over the course of its nine hours. The event will feature a minimum of five jazz/performing artists/groups of which 75+ will be MN-based. It will also feature a minimum of 30 Minnesota-based visual display artists. Attendance will be evaluated by head counts three times during the event. History demonstrates that Jazz Festival draws four distinct crowds between 11-2, 2-5 and 5-close as well as those who stay the entire day. We will also tally the number of performing and visual display artists (both total and Minnesota-based).

Measurable Outcome(s)

The 2019 Selby Ave JazzFest drew 12K attendees. In terms of providing an underserved market with arts access, approximately 66% of '19 attendees reside in ZIP Codes where the annual avg. HH entertainment expenditure was at least 20% less the Seven County Metro average. Neighborhood residents surveyed strongly feel JF has assisted to change perceptions of the Selby corridor. 4.8/5 (Likert Scale).
