Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The 2017 Powderhorn Art Fair will strive to reach an estimated 18,000 attendees and it will strive to grow local artist participation by a minimum of 10%; as one means to further fulfill the association's overall mission of community development. In support of capturing quantitative and qualitative insight from various event stakeholders; the association will leverage a broad mix of surveys to garner feedback from artists, attendees, vendors and organizers. A debrief meeting among staff, advisory committee and Board Members will also help frame and understand learnings.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The 26th annual Powderhorn Art Fair facilitated two core outcomes in the community. These connect directly to maintaining a vibrant and relevant arts experience in South Minneapolis; by driving $500,000 of economic impact across artists, local businesses and PPNA. The art fair also has become a meaningful tradition for 16,000 attendees by providing an award winning and holistic arts experience.
