ACHF Arts Access ACHF Cultural Heritage
The first outcome focuses on Kate sharing her knowledge on methods of successfully promoting, exhibiting and answering calls for entry in a variety of mediums in general and fiber and textiles specifically. This will positively impact local individuals, businesses and organizations by giving them the frame in which to plan and take their next steps. The second desired outcome focuses on creating awareness of and access to the vibrant textile and fiber arts community in the five county area. We will offer a post-speech survey to all attendees, record head count and anecdotal commentary from the audience. Questions on the survey will assess the outcomes listed above. We hope to get a sense of the level of experience our audience has with the business side of being an artist, what is their interest in professional development, what is their area of interest (fiber art or other)and level of expertise, what do they want as a artist in the way of networking, supplies and development.
From a consensus of observations by the trail members and the survey results, we feel that we met our outcomes of providing a framework for next steps in professional development for artists and creating an awareness of the textile community in our 5-county region. Actual evaluations – survey tabulations from attendees at the Friday night presentation are included in the report. Please see attached document to see results of questionnaire including additional written comments.
