Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
We will provide increased opportunities for Minnesota-based artists. Working with local radio station KAXE, we will present one new Minnesota-based artist, on the third Thursday of every month, in our new studio theater from September 2016 through May 2017.
Measurable Outcome(s)
As originally stated, we presented this series in conjunction with KAXE radio from Sep-May, nine total artists, to an overall audience of 1,521. We tracked ticket sales with our ticketing software for each of the nine events, and we had an average attendance of 169 people out of 200 seats (in our newly opened studio theater) which we feel was a great success.
