Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Queer Minnesota Artists and Allies will expand their virtual and physical audiences through participation in Pride. TC Pride will track the social media followings of participating artists before and after the Pride Festival to confirm higher numbers of followers.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Queer Minnesota Artists may have extended their virtual and physical audiences through participation in Pride. In 2020, we couldn?t track social media because we couldn?t know when visitors watched videos and then followed groups' social. In 2021, we were unable to track social media because the pandemic changed our event date and we lost our volunteers.
