ACHF Arts Access
Meet or exceed targets for participation in series classes, outreach, and exhibition programs. Our goal is to grow participation/income in series classes by a minimum of 3% and maintain outreach participation at approximately 4,500 with half at low or no cost. These numbers are tracked by session enabling us to easily measure progress. On-site class registrations are entered in software with payment information. Outreach numbers are reported by instructors. Ridgedale visitation and event attendance are tallied using a clicker. 2: Maintain a presence and positive cash flow at our second location in the Ridgedale Center. Since expanding the retail outlet and classes at Ridgedale in 2011, we have seen a dramatic uptick in revenue and participation but not enough to offset increased expenses. We will continue to monitor financial performance monthly and adjust the program as needed.
We exceeded targets for participation/income in series classes and exhibitions and we met revised targets for outreach programs. Effective 1/1/14, Minnetonka Center for the Arts closed its Ridgedale Mall storefront. Public presence has been maintained with an information display and vitrines in center court and magnet store courtyards.
