ACHF Arts Access
We expect over 5500 attendees, with over 500 performers such as dancers and drummers. We have experienced roughly a 15% increase in attendance each of the past 8 years. We will also have over 50 cultural vendors, increasing 10% each year. Each year we offer donation buttons which we use to keep track of attendance. We also count the number of dancers at the end of the Pow Wow during their payout.
We had over 5400 people attend our wacipi and experience Native American Arts and culture. The overall outcome of the wacipi was entirely positive. This could not have been possible without the help of the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council. This was our most successful wacipi yet.
