ACHF Arts Access
We will make our local senior citizen population feel included and appreciated by providing daytime, bus-in arts events at our center. We will present daytime bus-in arts events for senior citizens from assisted living facilities; participants will be interviewed to gauge if this process made them feel more valued and to ensure easier arts access was obtained.
Due to COVID-19, we did not have bus-in events but provided virtual streaming to older adults instead. We used our ticket tracking software to identify what populations (ages) and locations (private homes, older adult living facilities) participated in our virtual streaming events. We were unable to interview participants as originally planned.
