Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Our goal is to draw 350-500 visitors. We hope to promote the idea of embracing diversity through international music and dance across the Twin Cities metro area and beyond, and to reach out to more individuals and communities than ever before. Approximately 25 musicians, percussionists and dancers (professionals as well as amateurs) will be participating in this event. 25-30 volunteers and members of Advisory Committee will be involved. This team does include people with disabilities, and people coming from diverse backgrounds including ethnic groups such as Native Americans, African Americans, Hispanics, Asians, and Native Hawaiians.Artistic strengths as well as shortcomings will be discussed with all performers. Organizational strengths as well as shortcomings will be discussed with board of directors / advisory committee members during our evaluation meeting(s). The outcome and success of this year project will be compared with the outcomes from previous years. Close attention will be paid to post-performance feedback from the audience.
