ACHF Arts Access
Grant funds help us to buy new music to increase patronage and free will offerings, rent venues, print programs, and advertise in print and radio. Recently new or fairly new expenses include school rentals and storage for equipment. We ask ushers at venues take headcounts of attendees where we can. Band members will talk to attendees after concerts to ask opinions about music, performers, programs, and how they heard about our concerts, and collect free will offerings.
