Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
This project will raise the artistic quality of the events presented at the Paramount and will recognize barriers to participation the arts in our community.We plan to conduct surveys at the event to better measure if audience members think the event is high quality and if it was accessible both in ticket price and in the type of entertainment. Additionally, we will gather stories as we are able at the event on the audience's experience.
Measurable Outcome(s)
The production quality of the Floydian Slip was incredible and many in the audience commented on it. We provided the opportunity for the Armadillos to continue building their fan base in southern Minnesota.
