ACHF Arts Education
Minnesotans participate in the arts because arts experiences are relevant and accessible to them. Minnesotans learn, grow, or change because they participate in quality arts experiences. Minnesotans from groups traditionally underserved by the arts feel they have an authentic relationship to the grantee. Video/Audio Recordings, Survey, Observed Behavior Change, Data Collection.
This residency was a fantastic, in-house opportunity for our students that provided exposure to brass instruments for our diverse student body, including a large percentage of Somali immigrants. The CSB is an exciting group for students of all ages.
