ACHF Arts Access
At least half (75%) of the performances will introduce attendees to new artists/artforms that they have not previously seen/heard. At least 200 audience members will attend the events over the course of the 4 weeks. Participants will complete short surveys asking if they have heard the artist before, what they liked about the performance, and some demographic info. In addition, we'll glean feedback from our conversations with community members, both in Somali and English. There will be a debriefing meeting with parks and recreation during and after the series. COMPAS artists will complete surveys, and we will ask for verbal input from other artists.
We had just under 400 attendees over the four weeks. About half were kids. Of the surveys, 100% said they wished to have more events like the performances, 100% said that they enjoyed attending performances in community. 60% said that they had not previously heard of the artists, 65% said it was a new cultural experience, 57% said it was a new artistic experience. We also spoke with attendees.
