ACHF Arts Access
Right Here Commission's (RHC) mission is to support and promote the work of MN-based mid-career professional performing artists who create original contemporary performance work, and at the same time grow and educate a discerning audience for it. We hope to engage a minimum of 25 artists, and 400 audience members. We hope to generate a minimum of $4750 in income thru box office and donations. We hope to reach 35% attendees new to RHC. We will evaluate the results of the project through conversations with the audience, the artists, Selection Panel, and Advisory Board. We will also look at program surveys, and the comments posted on our website & social media pages. Additionally, we will take into account the press received, responses from artistic peers, and the box office statistics. The Artistic Producer compiles all the information from the various evaluation sessions, presents them to the Advisory Board, and implements any changes prior to sending out the Call for Proposals for the next Showcase application process.
250 persons attended the performance, which is consistent with recent years. There was a significant "buzz" which was created by persistent social marketing, and the quality of the performances. By the 2nd weekend we nearly sold out 3 of the 4 final performances.
