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 survey during our Winter Concert. This survey will be provided online and in hard copy.
The Grant Manager developed a survey for distribution at the featured December 2018 performance at Christ Chapel. The Communications Coordinator formatted the survey questions and coordinated distribution of printed copies via insertion into the concert program. Surveys were collected immediately after the concert, and results were tabulated afterwards. Though the survey return rate was lower than we hoped, it was extremely valuable to see the variety of locations our audience traveled from. Tracking how audience members heard about the concert was also helpful. It reinforces our decisions on how to spend our promotional budget. In the future, we will work to expand our methods for tracking both audience and membership referrals.
