Arts Activities Support
ACHF Arts Access
Our artistic goals are to: Present the felt room in a visual arts institution for an full exhibition period; Provide participating artists and audiences with engaging and challenging contemporary work; Use dance to explore movement’s therapeutic potential individually and collectively; Build a high quality work locally that can tour nationally and internationally; and build cohesive documentation of the felt room. Minnesota artists will develop their artistic practice. The artist will develop skills in presenting and documenting standalone performance work for a visual art context for the first time. We will build cohesive documentation of the work. Will collect attendance numbers. We will engage visitors to gather feedback with new audiences, peers, colleagues and curators from conversation and visitors book. We will track and collect press coverage and social media hits. Future bookings of the work will be a mark of the works success.
181 people attended the felt room. Audience (drawings, writings, conversations, student reviews, facebook exchanges) and critical media response have affirmed that this is unique and powerful new art experience for the majority of the attendees. “I’d recommend the felt room to anyone who feels like their imagination is powerful but held captive to their own mental restraints.” Audience response.
