Measurable Outcome(s)

During our festival TCHF X connected artists to new audiences while building new relationships, and reduced physical barriers to arts participation by providing free, donation-based access to our digital festival for patrons, and reduced production fees/costs to all participating artists for both digital and live weekends. Following the festival, we conducted interviews, surveys, and conversations (both formal and informal) with patrons, producers, and staff and found great general satisfaction with festival operations in general, as well as great excitement over the return of the live festival (bolstered by healthy ticket sales and audience attendance).
