ACHF Arts Access
Produce programs that effectively provide opportunities for artists underserved by professional performing arts organizations to create and share work. We will track data about each artist who participates with us, compiling statistics about the numbers and percentages of artists served through various programs and activities. 2: Strengthen our network of artists and supporters, and explore new ways to put artists on the edge of culture to work. We will explore/prototype new programs and services to meet our artists' evolving needs, and create new Board committees and opportunities for grassroots leadership serving an adaptive organization.
Produced five programs by and for over 1,500 artists to create and share work. We documented and adapted outreach efforts, partnerships, and participant demographics with each performance project, engaging members of the target communities in analyzing processes and results. 2: We increased our focus on community partnerships through our new mobile programs. Artists led peer education workshops with partners at SooVAC, Pangea World Theatre, and worked with new partners Aliveness Project and others to present and produce programming.
