ACHF Arts Access
Spicer is a small rural community that does not have the access to music genres/venues that metro areas have. The Music in the Park series helps our rural residents to overcome barriers to access quality music no matter their economic status. Audience members can be introduced to new music genres enhancing musical appreciation. Having Music in the Park in their local area gives elderly attendees opportunities to socialize and enjoy music in a safe setting. Music also provides a conduit to interaction for those whose special needs make other means of communication difficult. We are working to overcome our own prejudices/misunderstandings by inviting input from underserved communities and establishing a visible presence in the community. Measurement comes in the form of written evaluations, interactions with organizations serving the elderly and those with special needs, outreach to the underserved in our community, and increases in attendance.
