ACHF Arts Access
Vendor Artist surveys will indicate that at least 33% are IPOC and that a majority had a positive experience participating in the festival. A majority of visitors surveyed will indicate an intention to return to the festival in future years. Artist Circle will serve as a focus group. We will create demographic and experience surveys for Vendor Artists, Performers, and Visitors. We will do a structured count of attendees. We will review finances and participation.
We estimate that 2600 participated in the 2019 iteration of the Red Hot Art Festival, including 81 Vendor Artists and 36 Performers. A full 98% of Vendor Artists participated in the very-first Touchable Art Fair, which attracted seven registered participants and twelve volunteers to make the Festival accessible to people who are blind or have low vision. 80% of survey respondents plan to return next year.
