Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

To provide access to participation in the arts, Rochester International Film Group will hold the Rochester International Film Festival April 21-27, so that audiences will see 25 quality films not otherwise available, and some film artists will speak with people from Southeastern Minnesota. Audience ballots and ticket sale information will provide data about festival attendance and attendee feedback. Narrative comments will also be collected at our events. We will use this data to select an Audience Choice winner and make future plans.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We provided arts access (809 attend) by screening 25 films, 2 with directors. We addressed cost barriers for underserved youth and students (B&G Club/RCTC) with free & discount passes.
