Arts Access
ACHF Arts Access
We’ll build six new partnerships for our free community tours with sites who serve the working class, honing the relationship by returning with other show. Through conversation and written evaluation with audiences and staff, we’ll learn about both logistics and the degrees of audience engagement, implementing learning as we plan return performances. 2: With fourteen free performances we will reach 900 members of the working classes who have real and perceived barriers to access to professional theater. Through head counts, conversations and written evaluations where appropriate, we will continue to learn about barriers to participation in the arts.
Ten Thousand Things built new partnerships with nine organizations serving working class and deepened relationships with three partners via successive visits. We evaluated this project by using written post-show reports from our production manager, post-show discussions with audience members (sometimes facilitated), demographic surveys and audience counts, feedback collected from volunteers after shows, and post-show feedback from staff members. 2: The project reached 754 people, largely from veteran, immigrant, unemployed and disabled groups, who have real and perceived barriers to access the arts. We used demographic surveys and head counts from each performance to get an accurate account of how many people were served by this programming. Through post-show discussions and feedback from staff, we evaluated the extent to which our programming was breaking down barriers to participation in the arts.
