ACHF Cultural Heritage
Overcoming barriers to accessing high-quality arts activities. Instilling the arts into the community and public life in our region. Offering a Spanish background and music provides public education and broadens their perspective on traditional music. Supporting events and activities that represent the diverse ethnic and cultural arts traditions including folk and traditional artists and art organizations, represented in this region. We will estimate the numbers of attendees at the fair at the time of the band we can do so by using a car counter at the entrance of the fair. We plan to ask some of the audience what they think of the band and how we might improve next year. We also use our website and social media for the general public to send comments and feedback to. We will ask the band how this performance compares to other venues and locations they have performed at. We will also compare attendance and feedback to that of last year's entertainment and performances.
Impacted 50-75 people throughout the time they played.
