ACHF Arts Access
1) Festival goers will become more aware of the diverse art form of Blues music and the overall diversity of the festival. 2) Minnesota artists/ musicians will expand their public profile or audiences by participating in Minnesota festivals. Surveys completed by audiences and Lowertown Blues festival musicians will measure demographics, the number of artists who performed for new and/or larger audiences, and increased awareness by audiences of blues. Also, volunteers will survey audiences at show for attendance and demographics.
