Partners in Arts Participation
ACHF Arts Access
We will provide admission, transportation, and staff support so two thirds of women in transitional housing may participate in one or more arts events during the grant year. We will document each event offered, the number of women who participate, and how the event affected them. 2: Engaging with the arts will enrich women’s lives and aid in their recovery. We will document women’s assessments of the event(s) they attend, including the impact on their recovery.
Ascension Place provided tickets, transportation and staff support for 149 adult women in transitional housing to attend live theater performances. Ascension Place tracked the number of performances and the number of women who attended each performance. The 149 number represents tickets used for residents. There was some overlap, with some women attending more than one performance. 2: 149 women in supportive transitional housing attended live theater performances. Women who attended theater performances, through Minnesota State Arts Board funding for Ascension Place, were asked to complete a survey after each event. Questions included: 1. Please rate the even on a scale of 1-5. 2. Would you have attended the event even if it weren't offered? Why or why not? 3. How do you feel the performance affected you? 4. What was your favorite part of the event?
