ACHF Arts Access
Develop multi-dimensional programs that engage and are accessible and relevant to Minnesotans who seek a connection to the visual arts. By engaging an advisory committee of artists, curators, and participants, along with improved survey and data collection on audience experience, the M will continually improve programming. 2: Build the capacity of the organization to prepare for ongoing operations. Through the use of our operational plan, we will manage outcomes in weekly check in meetings with staff, bi-monthly leadership team meetings, and monthly executive and finance committees of the board.
Minnesotans experienced multi-dimensional programs through the M that were engaging, accessible, and relevant. The M tracked participation numbers in gallery programs and off-site programs, and gathered qualitative feedback through guest books, listening sessions, and advisory committee feedback. 2: The M has grown the capacity of the organization to prepare for larger operations of a new larger museum. The M's operational plan guides our growth. Staff meet weekly to check on progress of specific goals, leadership team meets bi-weekly to assess goal performance and create new goals, and the board and committees review progress throughout the year.
