Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We will continue to expand on our emerging new audience for the music we present in our series, continuing our outreach into traditionally segmented and alienated audiences. We will draw together musicians who have never had an opportunity to present this work to a Twin Cities audience, and an ongoing, growing new audience for a relatively new art form.As in past years, audience counts, dialogue with new audience members, surveys and post-performance discussions.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Experienced an increase of attendees of 98 people, with an increase of 110 new individuals. In 2013, our average audience was 16; in 2014, it was 23. Many attendees responded they were hearing new artists and areas of music for the first time, validated by their repeat attendance, dialogues with visiting artists, and purchasing merchandise from the artists.
