ACHF Arts Access
We will increase our average attendance from the current 125 to 175 per concert, increase the number of student tickets sold/distributed from 15 to 50 per concert, and make connections to the local communities represented by our visiting artists through outreach to appropriate organizations, newspapers, radio stations, and individuals, which will add an additional 15 to 20 audience members. To accomplish this goal, we will distribute vouchers to music teachers participating in our Guitar In Our Schools program (good for 4-for-1 pricing on tickets for students) and (as one example of our community outreach strategy for each concert) we will directly invite members of the Serbian-American community to our September concert by the Levante Duo from Serbia. We count the number of students and adults at each concert (the tickets distributed are numbered and collected). Members of our board are present in the lobby of the hall before, during, and after each concert to engage in conversations with long-time members of our Society as well as (and more importantly) newcomers, to learn how they heard about us and our concerts, and to get feedback on what and how well we're doing what we do.
We increased average concert attendance to 160, up almost 30% from the previous season. We solidified partnerships with music/guitar teachers at schools in three different districts that will let us build stronger relationships in future. We identified changes we need to make in how we deliver guitar performance experiences to young people from those schools and in other settings.
