ACHF Arts Access
“The infrastructure of arts organizations is strengthened through access to operating funds, professional development and best practices sharing.” It is our intent that as a result of reading this brochure more people in the area will become aware of all the things the Arts Council does and will be willing to support our work both by volunteering and by contributing financial support. Obviously, the people who sign on to volunteer or contribute will be affected, but in the final analysis, the whole community will benefit by having a stronger arts voice in the area. We will know we have been successful if, in fact, we have more people volunteering and supporting us financially. Both of these goals will be relatively easy to measure. We know the problem we have now with getting people to volunteer, so any improvement will be sharply noticed. We also keep very accurate records of membership support so any improvement in that will also be very noticeable.
