ACHF Arts Access
This being our first program and pilot year as an organization, we have set the following short-term goals to advance our mission and vision: have more than 150 attendees for every concert, selling out at least once concert; have at least 50 audience members report attending more than one concert; by the end of the series, have at least 30% or our audience made up of people that self-identify as Hispanic or Latinx; and receive two invited engagements and collaborations to perform repertoire from our Puentes concert season for/with other organizations. We will use ticket counts after each concert to track concert attendance. A bilingual survey will be included in each concert's playbill, asking for audience feedback on concert experience, and cultural background. Invited engagements will be documented in traceable communication mediums, such as e-mail or letters.
Averaged 112 paid ticket attendees per concert, 165 total attendees. 90% of our total audience rated our program as "Excellent" (5 on a 1 to 5 scale). 0% rated it 1 or 2. From beginning to end, a steady 40% of all audience members self-identified as Hispanic or Latinx, exceeding our goal of reaching 30% by our last project. We enjoyed 83 repeat attendees, 12 of whom attended all five programs.
