Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

For the artists, we plan on debuting up to ten new works for salsa ensemble. For the audience, we have a goal of 90% of respondents saying they would return to attend a similar Minnesota Salsa Fiesta event in the future. We will evaluate Minnesota Salsa Fiesta through participant counts and the use of paper and online surveys. Paper surveys will be avaialble at the events and the online survey sent out to digital ticket buyers following the July nineteen performance.
