ACHF Arts Access
Our project goal will be to support education to develop knowledge, skill and understanding of the arts. We hope that our support of the REACH program will not only raise awareness of this program, but the ability of photography as a medium for personal growth, creative expression, relaxation to name a few, in everyone’s life. We will be using a questionnaire that will be handed out to all the visitors of our showcase during the two-week period. The questions will address various aspects of concern such as: quality of showcase, asset to the community, address our goal of education and how it was perceived, advertising and location demographic. We hope to find out how the community views the arts, educational opportunity and suggestions to improve. Results will be presented to the photo club at a regular meeting and shared with the Hutchinson Center for the Arts and staff of the REACH program. We will also confer with the Arts Center staff to see if they received feedback and any suggestions that they have for future events.
The Hutchinson Photography Club Showcase survey asked questions to help us understand if as a club we were meeting the needs of the community, helping to develop knowledge, skill and understand of our art and if we inspired them to further their artistic skill. Overwhelmingly, the surveyed community agreed that our showcase was an asset to our community and would view the arts with a 'new eye' and inspire them to further their own artistic skills. Supporting comments included; 'I think the arts are very important to broaden our lives', 'culture is always important to a community', 'every year the artwork gets better'.
