ACHF Arts Access
The ability to provide a free concert to our audience will encourage people to attend and listen to a genre of music that has not been brought to Sauk Centre before. Access to Sinclair Lewis Park is completely handicap accessible and the band is appropriate for any age. The public will have an opportunity to see and listen to a type of music that will be brought to Sauk Centre free without traveling to a larger city or large outdoor festival. The public will be able to interact with the Band and learn more about this type of music. One of the band's trademarks is their personal connection to the audience both during and following their performance. This will be a regional community arts project since we plan to advertise in a one hundred mile radius. This gives rural residents an opportunity to see and hear a nationally recognized Blues band in a small rural community within a few hours drive of their homes. ; We will have introduced a new genre of music to the community at no cost to the public Part of the evaluation will be how many people attend, how many people remain for the entire concert and verbal comments from the audience to our Board members who will be stationed around the event to ask questions and get feed back. Community Legacies Foundation will also distribute a brief survey regarding the concert experience.; Evaluation will be two fold. the number of people in attendance and responses to verbal questions asked at the concert.
The concert was well received with many positive comments from the Audience. "I'm so glad I came tonight. I haven't heard this kind of music before." "We need more of this. When are they coming back?" Other comments were, "It's not my kind of music." The
