ACHF Arts Access
A primary outcome of the project will include an exploration of our subject through in-depth interviews with 5 restaurant owners culminating in 5 watercolor paintings. Second, we will embed the work within a community shared meal that will draw 50 attendees and reach 20,000 through social media. Full completion of outcomes is contingent on receiving pending support from a second funder. Evaluation will include post-project evaluation of the five restaurant owners about their perceived impact of project participation, as well as collection of post-event feedback from event participants. Evaluation will also include media reach (number of impressions from social media and the press) and number of event participants.
The project hired nine BIPOC artists (writers, music, photographers). We united 350 neighbors in a community building experience. 65,000 people received positive messages about immigrant and refugee entrepreneurs. Surveys showed a huge increase in restaurant visibility: only 13% of respondents had heard of one restaurant previously, but 77% of respondents said they would now go there.
