Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Deeper engagement and participation from under-served racial, ethnic and cultural communities will be achieved. DBCC will document Latino participation through the workshops, performance attendance, WEQY membership, continued WEQY programming involvement, and enrollment in our electronic communication network. 2: Latino Community members will be exposed to a culturally specific art experience and learn to appreciate the arts. DBCC will use surveys and process documentation to measure the degree to which there has been a change in participants' and audience members’ familiarity with and perception of the arts.

Measurable Outcome(s)

This project engaged the local Latino community, creating a unique experience and a model for cultural community artistic expression and engagement. Documenting participants in each aspect. Audience observation and surveys (still being compiled) solicited from the live audience. Listening audience numbers are not directly measurable but future promoted broadcasts will solicit listener feedback to be measured. 2: A live Spanish language production performed by and for the Latino community was attended by a large audience which responded enthusiastically. Participation was documented. A post-performance discussion followed one performance. Surveys were distributed and collected after the performances. Specific attending groups have been identified for follow up communication. Similar documentation and feedback are planned for the upcoming production on Saint Paul's East Side. Streaming numbers and social media feedback will be gathered for future live broadcasts and the to-be-produced podcast versions.
