ACHF Arts Access
At least 275 people attend author presentations by six writers, with a goal of attracting 15% new audience members for the series. Attendees will indicate through event and follow-up surveys that they are more likely to attend additional literary events and read/search out books by Minnesota writers as a result of this programming. Attendees will also indicate a greater understanding of the range of Minnesota literature and the writing process. Participating artists will indicate through follow-up surveys that the events exposed them to new audiences. Anticipated outcomes will be evaluated through audience/participant count and demographics, audience surveys, and follow-up artist surveys. Both quantitative and qualitative data about the arts experiences will be captured.
265 people attended six author events with 28 identifying themselves as first-time attendees. In audience surveys, attendees rated the program 4.8 out of 5 in terms of quality. On average, 54% of the audience identified as seniors and 62% as female. We estimate that 30% of attendees represented non-white race and ethnicities.
