ACHF Arts Access
Outcome #1: Regional residents experience increased awareness of songwriters and various genres of music as well as observation and sales of different techniques of painting and sketching by both local and Metro Artists. Outcome #2:: After suffering through a difficult and depressing year of the pandemic, all groups will find joy and celebration together in our beautiful Ashley Park enjoying music and art together and supporting these artists who have been struggling during the pandemic. Outcome #9: Adults and children from the Jackson and the surrounding area have increased awareness of a variety of visual art and music forms. Post event surveys will allow children and parents to comment on programming and will indicate audience growth in knowledge of various music styles. We will also look for increased attendance and sales at the Farmers' Market, increased activity and programming offered at our city parks, positive attitude of local residents.
Local and regional residents were able to experience music that they had not heard before, as well as music that they had enjoyed previously. Musicians performing for the attendees came from Colorado, Arkansas, throughout Minnesota, as well as South Dakota and Illinois. Attendees came from across the states of Minnesota, South Dakota and Iowa to experience the events. All ages attended the events, as there were multigenerational activities presented. A survey was conducted online, with poor response. In verbal surveys, Farmers Market vendors felt the attendance at the market was bigger on the days when the music and art took place. Attendees expressed that they were pleased to be able to gather in a safe, outdoor environment to experience music and art again.
