Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

With our show this year we hope that we will double our attendance from last year's show with 200 attendees. We hope that 80% of our artists and guests will be able to grow artistically and culturally. With our upcoming event in September we will evaluate our outcomes with guest count through ticket sales and attendance. We will also send out a survey to participating artists and guests on how this as changed their view on the beauty arts, cultural appropriation, and cultural understanding in mainstream media as well as in the Twin Cities.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We had 170 guests attend our show and had 6 artists present. In our survey that was sent out to attendees what we got back showed that 80% of attendees felt that there was a lot of diversity in our artists and attendees. Surveys also showed that 100% of survey participants learned more about loving themselves and appreciating their cultural background.
