ACHF Arts Access
The number of Minnesotans who are able to participate in the arts increases. The quality, types and number of arts opportunities in our region, and the organizations or venues that offer them increases. New relationships with members of groups that have traditionally been underserved by the arts or by the applicant organization are built. The number of Minnesotans who are engaged in arts education and learning opportunities increases. Jennifer Thompson will create the survey, distribute it and tally the results. We will distribute the survey to attendees of the cantata and musical. The survey is attached.
Yes, we achieved our planned outcomes. We distributed and tabulated surveys. We learned important information about where to spend our publicity dollars and where our audience members were from. We also learned that we had the same number of new attendees as repeat attendees, which was great.
