ACHF Arts Access
At least 1,00 persons attend the Festival over the three-days of events interacting with the fifteen artists and at least 85% kf the audience report that they had a positive or very positive experience to which they would return and recommend to their family and friends. We will use both an audience count and a survey instrument to capture evaluations of the event by audience members.
In our estimation the most significant outcome is the way audience members left each event. They felt better as a result of having attended the session. Many vocalized their level of enjoyment from having actually participated and interacted with the Master Storytellers. It is those demonstrated feelings of having been uplifted that we most treasure. 95% of survey respondents affirmed this.
