Rural Arts and Culture Summit
ACHF Arts Access
Artists and arts organizations build relationships with members of, or organizations that serve, groups that have traditionally been underserved by the arts or by the applicant organization. Anecdotal responses, contacts made, relationships built, ideas generated.
I was surrounded by people with a passion for the arts. At the opening reception, I met Deb Lehman, someone whom I have talked to on the phone many times, getting arts experiences for my students at the College of Saint Ben's and Saint John's University. We had much discussion on Saint Benedict/Saint John's community outreach. We are going to work together on a project incorporating music/visual arts in the fall. So excited! Another great relationship built would be with Amy Hunter, who just moved to the area, and we are going to audition for the Great River Chorale together. We are going to brain-storm about how both of us can help promote the arts in her new hometown.
