Project Grant

We expect that over 600 people will have attended this Sunday afternoon event, and that over 100 of them will be residents of African-American descent! We expect that over 600 people in the audience will have learned about the origins of gospel music, and be exposed to many of the centuries-old spirituals that are still used in church services and concerts today. The audience will also have an increased knowledge of the uniquely-American performance art form known as Gospel Music.1) Attendance and box office records 2) An optional, short survey that will be included in all of the programs that are handed out to the attendees. (The Paramount has created a generic type of patron survey that can be altered for each performance. The survey is used to help not only the Paramount gather outcome data, but we offer the survey to any other rental group that is also receiving Central Minnesota Arts Board or Legacy support for their projects that is having their performance in the building). 3) Visual awareness of the ethnicity of the attending patrons.
