ACHF Arts Access
Create a written plan to upgrade the pageant facilities and develop new theatrical productions and related arts activities with a strong artistic vision for the next decade. Find new ways to attract audiences for the variety of arts activities in the Walnut Grove area. Create awareness of the value of the Wilder Pageant as an economic engine for the community and support existing partnerships and add new ones. The Focus Groups will do a self-evaluation at their final session regarding the process and outcomes of their efforts. The facilitator will compile results of the focus groups in a final report along with the results of an online survey open to the area community regarding the proposed changes. Also in the final report will be an update on the status of the recommended Action Items as of March of 2018.
The goal for recommendations made was exceeded. The goal for recommendations approved was set at thirty-three (33). Twenty-two (22) were approved. This is 67% while we were hoping for 75%. Because there were so many recommendations, the overall average of recommendations approved was less than the target except in the area of FUNDING SOURCES and PLANS. It came in at 100% after some of the similar recommendations were combined.
