ACHF Arts Access
The number of Minnesotans who are able to participate in the arts increases. Real or perceived barriers to arts participation and arts access are identified and addressed. The number of Minnesotans who are engaged in arts education and learning opportunities increases. We will conduct an audience survey to help us to plan our next year’s show, and to find out which communities seem to be the most interested in our performances. We also use the evaluation to find out which communities respond to our advertising and what type of advertising is effective in these communities. We are able to find out which age groups respond to our shows, and that helps us to target those audience members and then try to figure out what we can do to attract other age groups. The Chorus evaluation sheets are provided at our Spring Convention and competition. These written evaluations, provided by trained and certified judges, will be used to plan next year’s coaching schedule. We also use these score sheets to evaluate our success in the current year’s goals and to help formulate musical goals for the upcoming year.
The survey was given to each audience member at the annual show. 61 were completed and handed in. The surveys were tabulated and the results will help us decide show music and advertising in the future. The evaluations received at our Spring meeting will give us information on what areas of performance we need to work on. It will help us decide what coaches to hire to help us improve those areas for future performances.
