ACHF Arts Access
The quality, types and number of arts opportunities in our region, and the organizations or venues that offer them increases. We will create the survey, distribute it and tabulate the results. The PLRAC Survey Form will be used and may be expanded by the BEVCA board. The number of ticket sales and the geographical location of the respondents will be used to measure outcomes.
Past survey results have been very comparable: satisfaction with the quality and variety of the concerts, a difference in the concerts of what genre of music should be increased, and many respondents are from outside the city of Blue Earth and Faribault County.
