ACHF Arts Access
The goals for this project is to pay local performing artists to perform and to also offer audience members the opportunity to hear live music performed by local artists. A secondary goal of this is to bring people into the lobby area to view the artwork on the walls by artists that has been displayed by the Nobles County Art Center. We have partnered with them to display the art of local artists, as well as selling it. Success will come by creating an arts experience to our patrons from the moment they walk in the doors of Memorial Auditorium Performing Arts Center until they go home. All of this has a positive impact not only for the performing artists, but also for the patrons who experience the live music. Measurement comes from the enjoyment of the audience members who listen to the music and applaud the performances in the lobby, and artwork that is sold.
