ACHF Arts Access
As a result of this program, people in Pennington County will learn about many different fine arts areas during their visit. Evaluation will occur through follow up-meetings with planners, numbers of attendees and notes that are taken during the event. This event offers the community access to theater productions, dancers, singers and visual artists.
Due to the Village Arts Festival, numerous people in the Thief River Falls area were exposed to artists that they had not seen before. The artists were ages 10 to 60 and performed musical theater numbers, sang, painted, worked on stained glass, and participated as audience members. Without this experience, the fine arts would not be shared with as many people. The Village Arts Festival is an opportunity for people to bond while making or observing the fine arts.
