Community Arts
ACHF Arts Access
A total of 1,000 people will attend events showcasing 30 different performers. 50% of the audience surveys indicate they have been exposed to a new style of music/dance and that it open their eyes to different forms of music. Audience numbers will be collected each week and evaluated by board to determine which groups bring in the most people. Audience members will fill out a survey indicating which group they liked, did not like and to give feedback in future performers they would like to see included in the project.
Our main goal is to provide musical array that will represent the makeup of our community. I feel this was well represented. Even though one group who performed was not well received, they actually served the purpose of representing our Hispanic population. It is a goal of ours to continue to develop an appreciation for the arts and especially music, each year we get more and more people attending the series, so we know we are meeting our goal. Everything went well, we had no problems, and we really would not change a thing. This was a great series and we hope to continue with this offering to our community for years to come. We did reach our intended population, both in the musicians who performed and the audience members who attended the events. We had great turn outs every night and people really seemed to enjoy themselves. They were brought together with other community members to enjoy and remember the past through music. Because we wanted to make sure all could attend each night the series was free, we provided transportation and it was all handicap accessible. An average of 155 people attended each of the 8 nights of the series. The survey results from the audience showed that 20% of the attendance was new to our series and 15% of the 20% were invited by a friend/neighbor to join them in coming to the event. 100% of the musicians felt they were well received, enjoyed playing for our community and would love to come back for another year.
