Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Outcome 1: Through inclusion, education and appreciation for Ojibwe arts and culture, we will begin to breakdown the racial divide between our local and regional neighbors. Outcome 2: Inviting a regional audience to the festival, will increase exposure for more traditional Native American artists which educates the market and supports the arts economy. Registrations, attendee gate counts, and survey tools will measure participation by age, gender and race, extent of learning, enjoyment and attitudes. Festival hosts will collect anecdotal responses from participants and artists. Registrations will measure age, gender, type and experience of artists participating. Post event feedback through surveys and focus groups will measure sales and value.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Reached as far as Walker, Kelliher, Minneapolis and Winnipeg; with one from Texas. Continue to have strong student attendance; consistent from Kelliher schools. Artists 100% satisfaction; love connecting with youth, markets, vendor experience. 18 sales vendors; 4 returning survey with total of $1,337 in sales; this average shows potentially sales of $6,000. Younger volunteers helped with more youth at powwow demonstration. Schools asked for follow up to determine youth art after the festival.
