ACHF Arts Access
Growing our audience at each open mic (Measured by asking community 'How many of you are new to The Free Black Table Open Mic') Getting more diverse in artistic discipline. Getting diverse talent on stage. Not just writers but singers, comedians and musicians. We plan to do this by mentioning this effort in our promotion on social media and flyers. (Measured by asking and taking note on how many audience members are poet's, dancers, singers, etc) Building power by connecting community (Measured by simple easy to do exit surveys 'How many of you made an important connection during this event tonight') We will evaluate our project as related to the stated artistic goals via creative surveys as people converse after the open mic. Surveys will speak to if participants experienced a wide range of talent during the event and if they would recommend this event to a friend or neighbor.
We grew our audience at each open mic, measured by asking community "How many of you are new to The Free Black Table Open Mic?" We are getting more diverse in artistic discipline—we didn’t just have writers but singers, comedians and musicians. We built power by connecting community. Performers felt celebrated.
