ACHF Arts Access
Provide access to symphonic music in multiple locations. Evaluation is on the number of venues and programs and their response to our programs - churches, communities up the North Shore, The Depot in Duluth, and Assisted Living Programs. Grow the list. 2: Audience members, musicians, board and staff become more engaged in all of the arts because of their DSSO participation. Boy collaborating with other arts organizations in Duluth, the DSSO sets a trend for high quality along with our colleagues. Evaluation is measured by a growing number of collaborators.
Ten full symphonic productions and eight chamber ensemble performances were presented throughout the community. On-line and written surveys were distributed at select performances as well as solicitation of oral commentary from participants. 2: Chamber ensembles were presented at five local breweries to new and diverse audiences. Oral commentary was solicited at the performances as well as post-performance interviews with the brewery owners and staff to gauge the impact with their audiences.
