ACHF Arts Access
“The capacity of those providing arts experiences is increased or strengthened by changing, expanding, or enriching the ways in which they connect to their communities through the arts.” Learn how our arts organization can connect better to our community/area. “Regional artists connect to new audiences and/or build relationships that provide artistic growth.” Find new ideas for the organization's website to provide an economic venue for area artists. “The infrastructure of arts organizations is strengthened through access to operating funds, professional development and best practices sharing.” Discover ways to make the organization more financially sustainable and learn about best practices. For each outcome, I will document two specific ideas to implement.
