Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The variety and number of Minnesota artists that are presented through festivals increases. The variety and number of folk and traditional arts and artists that are presented through festivals increases. Minnesota festivals have greater financial stability and serve broader audiences. The number of Minnesotans who experience the arts through festivals increases.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The Minneapolis Monarch Festival presented a variety of Minnesota artists and performers and a larger number of artists than originally planned. We evaluated this outcome based on artist-identified genre being presented on stage, and visual artists hands-on learning activity presented, as well as recording the number of artists and performers day-of-event. 2: The Festival included folk music (with accordion), traditional warrior dance, American folk, calypso, reggae, and salsa music. Visual artists include traditional craft (leatherwork), origami, mixed media, and printmaking.
