Ukrainian artists and performance groups will gain visibility and expand their audience through participation in the Festival We will record each group's social media followers before the Festival, then one month after, and then at six months after. Attendees will be encouraged to follow the groups.
Due to the strong turnout, extended Festival hours and multiple stages all performers had more than expected exposure and visibility during the Festival. We started to collect statistical info too late, Facebook keeps stats only for 29 days An Artist Survey was used instead w/respondents stating they had great exposure, leading to increased social media followers and they would participate in future.
