Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

JazzFest 17 will achieve an attendance of 12,000 people over the course of the event's nine hours. The event will feature at least five jazz performing artists/groups, 90+ will be Minnesota-based, and over 30 visual artists. Attendance will be evaluated by head counts three times during the event (history demonstrates the event draws three distinct crowds-11-2, 2-5, 5-close and those who stay the entire day). We will tally the number of performing and visual artists. We will also tally the number of Minnesota performing artists.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The 2017 Selby Ave JazzFest drew an estimated 12,000 attendees. Non-residents were asked, "Has the SAJF assisted to change your perceptions about the neighborhood?" Result: 4.41/5. (1-5 Likert scale) Approximately 55% of attendees reside in Zip Codes where the average HH entertainment expenditure is at least 20% less than the seven-county metro average.
