ACHF Arts Access
Having the capability to record and livestream events from our theater will create more accessibility in the community to our programming. We will be able to add an entire "Online Series" to our calendar, growing the number of artists served. This will give artists the opportunity to reach audiences who normally can not attend in person and will grow awareness of their art and our venue. A filmed performance can also be used as a tool to promote themselves and critique the performance. One of the most important roles that this livestreaming system will provide is the assurance that if something like the Covid pandemic should strike again, we will be able to continue to provide the community with entertainment and arts from our stage. With metric data that is available through livestream hosting services such as YouTube and Facebook, we will be able to measure how effective we are at reaching audiences. This information can be used in the future for marketing purposes when advertising future events. The video captured from performances can be used to promote our theater as a place where artists can bring their projects and performances to reach wider audiences, thus increasing the amount and types of art presentations available to the community.
We purchased and installed a 2-camera system in the Palace Theatre. Including the computer to control the system, a monitor and software to run it and a control board for the movement of the cameras. We have been able to see the actual number of people we are able to reach during our live streamed events thanks to YouTube's creators tools.. Not only have we surpassed our expectations with the numbers we see for each event, our reach has been international.
