ACHF Arts Access
This project aims to include approximately 40 Voices of Hope singers from the MCF-Shakopee facility as well as approximately twenty musicians from the outside community; together, these musicians will perform for an audience of about 80 incarcerated women at MCF-Shakopee, raising awareness about a selected cause/organization. The effectiveness of this project will be measured primarily through post-concert surveys and discussion; our goal is for at least 90% of the musicians to report that they found the performance experience meaningful and that women in the Voices of Hope built confidence as musicians and performers, were exposed to new musical styles, and increased their understanding of the power of music to raise awareness about a particular cause or issue. Voices of Hope singers and visiting musicians will be given the opportunity to fill out evaluative surveys asking for feedback about their experience participating in the project. We will also collect qualitative data from a post-concert discussion with choir members and visiting musicians, as long as prison administration allows. ; Voices of Hope singers and visiting musicians will be given the opportunity to fill out evaluative surveys asking for feedback about their experience participating in the project.
