Arts and Cultural Heritage Grant for Organizations
ACHF Cultural Heritage
Outcome 1: Through inclusion, education and appreciation for Ojibwe arts and culture, we will begin to breakdown the racial divide between our local and regional neighbors. Outcome 2: Inviting a regional audience to the festival, will increase exposure for more traditional Native American artists which educates the market and supports the arts economy. Registrations, attendee gate counts, and survey tools will measure participation by age, gender and race, extent of learning, enjoyment and attitudes. Festival hosts will collect anecdotal responses from participants and artists. Registrations will measure age, gender, type and experience of artists participating. Post event feedback through surveys and focus groups will measure sales and value.
