Minnesota artists and audiences of all ages, ethnicities and income levels engaged in/with the arts despite real and perceived barriers to participation. We used demographics counts to find that we reached 6,086 audience members, 2505 of whom were low-income or non-traditional. 35% of our actors were people of color. 2: Minnesota artists received fair compensation for their work with TTT and benefitted from TTT's artist advocacy work. By year-end we noted that TTT increased its expenditures to artists by 6% in FY16 over FY15 and over 50% since FY11. According to Actors Equity contracts, TTT paid union actors approximately 75% more than union requirements for theaters of our size.
