ACHF Arts Access
Instill the arts into our community and public life through this free series of workshops, classes and performances. We hope to overcome barriers in participating and appreciating theater with the Sod House performance. Support the outdoor theater events that have previously occurred in Granite Falls. Interviews will be conducted at each event, interviewing at least 10 participants or attendees. Attendees will be counted at each event.
We met our participation/attendance goals: There were 35 artists at the Raku workshop, 21 at the Sod House theater workshops and 3 in the play, 30 at the alcohol ink workshop. 15 children received harmonicas and learned how to play at the Joey Flip event. Many more enjoyed the vendors and the free concerts.
