Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Queer POC Minnesota artists will expand their audiences and increase their marketing skills through participation in Pride. We will record each group's social media followers at one month before the Festival, at one month after, and at six months after the Festival. Attendees will be encouraged to follow the groups.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Minnesota artists expanded their public profile by participating in Minnesota festivals, specifically in Twin Cities Pride. TCP created graphics for all artists to use in their social media feeds. We recorded the number of followers before and after Pride to determine if this helped develop the artist's marketing reach and increase their social audience.
