ACHF Arts Access
Each year, the Meander challenges our regional artists to create new work and develop ways for them to connect with the people who tour on the Meander. #4: “Regional artists expand and improve their work and the way in which they create it.” The 40+ artists who are a part of Meander will learn more about their art in creating a large body of work to sell during Meander. #5: “Regional artists connect to new audiences and/or build relationships that provide artistic growth.” The 40+ artists who are a part of Meander will learn more about what their customers want by both conversations and by what sells. They are able to try new things in prep for the event. A passport survey is filled out by participants to gather information about the quality and experience of the event. An artist survey is filled out after the event by the artists reporting how the event went for them, and how much they sold.
