ACHF Arts Access
The residency program provides a platform for national artists and creative professionals to share their varied skills with residents of Houston County. It also strengthens local relationships between arts, culture, and heritage organizations. We will document each residency using text, video, and audio. We will interview community participants, survey workshop attendees, and observe increased arts and cultural participation and activities throughout Houston County in 2017 and 2018.
Overcome barriers to accessing high-quality arts activities & instill the arts into the community and public life in our region: We provided high-quality arts activities in three different Houston Co. communities, overcoming geographic barriers.
