ACHF Arts Access ACHF Arts Education ACHF Cultural Heritage
A reduction in geographic, cultural and/or physical barriers to arts participation; a change in knowledge, attitude, behavior or condition due to arts events; arts groups' are strengthened by connecting to their communities through the arts; artists expand and improve their work and the way in which they create it; artists connect to new audiences, building relationships that provide artistic growth. Community dialogue (group conversations with a large group) ; Observation ; Surveying (paper or online)
Outcomes achieved: we were able to remove a cultural barrier by adding a translation widget to the website to allow people whose primary language is not English to be able to access information about our event. We were unable to do a text to speech in multiple languages because the translations were inadequate. (tested with native speakers) We were able to add an online event platform. Artists strengthened connection to community and new audiences building relationships and allowing artistic and business growth. With Covid planning and additional online access, the community was able to come together safely building trust between our arts organization, artists, and the attending community. Evaluation: Conversations with attendees, Survey of artists & Vendors, discussion with board members & partners, observations and recorded documentation including online & marketing data, attendance records, volunteer participants and financial reports.
