Artist Initiative
ACHF Arts Access
Artistic abilities will be developed through learning new works, composer workshops, and performance with a variety of instruments and electronics. The development of artistic abilities will be measured by successful completion of the recorded album, public performances, and surveys at those public events. 2: Minnesota artists will perform and record local composers’ music. Minnesota residents will attend events and experience an album made by Minnesotans. Engagement in the work of Minnesota artists will be measured by the completion of public performances, head counts at events, and CD sales.
Minnesota artists developed their artistic skills through the creation of new music, recording a new music album, and performing in public events. This outcome was evaluated by the successful completion of the album, the success of public performances, and feedback from participating artists. Public reception of the album was exceptionally positive, as were audience member responses at public events. Performers appreciated being part of the creative process in forming the new works, and felt their new music interpretive skills progressed as they learned and performed all recent and new music without access to reference recordings. 2: Minnesotans engaged in and with the work of Minnesota artists through collaboration, live performances, and an album of Minnesota-based music. This outcome was measured by head counts, surveys, and audience interaction at public performances, and through album distribution records. Ticket salespeople at events kept records of attendee numbers. Each attendee was given a four-question survey with their concert program. The Mound Westonka High School band director provided the project with numbers of students in band classes, and one of the 88.5 FM airings of Sarah Porwoll-Lee’s interview was observed.
