ACHF Arts Access
Minnesotans in ten communities will develop an appreciation for interactive comedy (acting, music, dance) as presented by our guest artists. All host sites will record event attendance, track outreach participation, and distribute surveys to participants. An administrator will visit each site to collect data and evaluate successes and challenges for each tour stop.
We presented comedy troupe Triple Espresso in six Minnesota communities, each with educational outreach activities. We hired an evaluator who traveled to each site to distribute surveys and conduct oral interviews with patrons and staff of each facility and then compiled responses in a cohesive report.
