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. We will conduct a production survey and share the results with the Marketing Committee and the Board. Committees will utilize the data in selecting future productions and events, as well as in booking other events at the theater. We will watch for trends as to who the primary audience was for a specific type of event and whether we need to shift focus.
We use the results and anecdotal surveys to help in determining our marketing efforts as to how an audience is best reached and, as well, in selecting productions and other events that will have broader appeal and thus garner more revenue. In fact, we are now going to use the same questions for some non-funded events for the same reasons. We also utilize a spread sheet tracking the financial success of all endeavors. This will be compared to the survey compilations to see correlations and further re-enforce types of future plays and performing arts events to recruit.
