Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The 2016 Vintage Band Festival will provide access to participation in the arts for more Minnesotans (both musicians and audience members), and it will raise the quality, types and number of arts opportunities in southern Minnesota. The festival will track the number of attendees and their addresses through the collection of on-site donor cards and surveys. Festival volunteers will also estimate the total audience numbers attending each concert and related festival event through head counts and the use of video recordings.

Measurable Outcome(s)

One of our goals was to increase access to quality arts programming for people over age 50. We accomplished this by partnering with senior center, retirement center and hospital, to arrange for band events there and to publicize the festival.
