ACHF Arts Access
To provide visibility for our local muralists, artists, and creatives while building a visual identity for the neighborhood that reflects and recognizes our uniqueness and talent. Creative Enterprise Zone will host a week-long mural festival; 10-12 murals?showcasing the talents of local and international muralists?will be created for exterior walls throughout the CEZ. A week-long, intensive production phase will offer audiences direct dialogues with the artists (3+ Artist Talks) revealing the creative process. Other events and educational forums will coincide with this program (3+ additional events). Evaluation methods will include: audience/participant count for each event, audience/participant surveys, and artist surveys. In 2019, we had a circulator transporting attendees throughout the zone; this was an excellent opportunity to survey attendees. We plan to do the same in 2020. We will also host a post-event feedback session to gather additional community feedback.
Commissioned 6 new murals; employed 9 local artists and 1 video production firm; engaged 6 building owners and 5 in-kind partners for materials/equipment; promoted 24+ murals in the CEZ; secured new media coverage and increased social and web traffic; hosted 500+ at outdoor community event; generated donations and year-round visitation; and uplifted and engaged many struggling during the pandemic.
