ACHF Arts Access
Instilling the arts into the community and public life in our region is the goal we think best fits our whole mission and reason for existence as well as this specific project. By having better visibility in the community we can more effectively promote the arts in our region. We expect we will see an increase in interest in the arts as well as an increase in membership. We will track how many people visit our website. We will have a survey on the website asking people’s input on the new logo and website. We will work with Kelley and Ryan to develop an effective, targeted survey, but a sample survey is attached.
Only one person said they had trouble navigating the site. All the other responses were positive. Everyone responding liked the new logo. We asked for suggestions for ideas for what people would like to see us doing. Several people said they'd like to see more public art. The general impression was that we're doing a good job and keep it up.
