Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

All Black Zine intends to host a release show featuring a number of local and regional artists at the Prøve Gallery on May 13, 2016. Our goal is to connect with over 230 followers through this event. We will count the number of participants that show at both the gallery portion and the performance portion. All Black Zine also intends to collect donations. Our goal for donations is $230 dollars. This amount will allow us to continue to engage throughout the summer and prepare for our end of the summer show. We will count the number of participants at the event in May. We will count the donations that come into the organization. All Black Zine will also track all traffic coming into our social media pages and our webpage. Based on our last publication, we should reach over 1000 people. We will use analytics to track these numbers and the corresponding activity.

Measurable Outcome(s)

115 participants/visitors took part in the All Black Zine release show. We provided 115 publications to those 115 visitors. We brought in $100 in donations for the Prøve gallery. We achieved 344 unique views on our website following the show. The night of the event our social media reach extended to 832+ unique users. After the event we were able to grow our Facebook "like" total from 250 to 275. We were able to collect contact information from 4 new potential contributors.
