Create an audience for Minnesota filmmakers whose work might not otherwise be seen by a large audience and to couple that with a diverse artistic line-up. Will measure this by surveying filmmakers whose work was shown and ask where else their films have been screened. We will also survey musicians to find out if they are playing other Minnesota festivals and audience members with questions pertaining to diversity of our lineup. 2: The festival attracts a broad audience via compelling programming, affordable ticket prices, volunteer opportunities, and broad accessibility. On-site surveys with attendees ask about their other arts and festival experiences. A sell out show would ensure largest audience will experience the arts we offer. We will analyze demographic information collected by our ticketing program to determine where our attendees live.
The 12th annual Square Lake Film and Music Festival curated a diverse selection of Minnesota musical artists, ranging from Chinese Pipa to marching drums to indie rock to bluegrass. 2: The Square Lake Festival reaches this program outcome goal because it is an event that attracts attendees who might typically not attend a music and film festival.
