Community Arts
ACHF Arts Access
Our student participation will include 60 participants on one of three crews: performers, technology/set, or band and five student directors who will perform 11 shows to a variety of audiences over the course of the Washington County and Minnesota State Fairs. Our participants will perform at a senior center during the encampment to reach those community members who would otherwise be unable to attend a show at the Washington County Fair. We will reach 900 people through performances at the Washington County and Minnesota State Fairs. We will evaluate our 2015 program and incorporate feedback given at the annual Arts In reunion into the program plan for the 2016 year.
During the encampment, our youth performed at a local senior citizen nursing center to approximately 120 residents. At the Washington County Fair, 1,856 people saw the show. Approximately 700 people saw the show at the Minnesota State Fair for a total of 2,676 people. We had 11 youth apply for Student Director positions. Five were offered the Student Director role. All eleven participated on the Student Leadership Committee and helped plan and implement the program. We had 100% parent participation in a volunteer role.
