Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Two Stringwood Festival Concerts and six Young Artist Performances take place in Lanesboro, Rochester, La Crosse, Winona, and Spillville (Iowa), extending the reach of this project to large numbers of people and building arts awareness in underserved communities.Performances are recorded and uploaded to the web, and we collect feedback and student participation satisfaction online with survey monkey. On the final day we host a call and response with students allowing them to express their ideas in a public forum.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We saw a marked increase in box office ticket sales and the concerts for participants were very well attended. There were at least 200 people at the students' final concert. We also participated in Lanesboro Arts in the Park events.
