ACHF Arts Access
East Side residents gain awareness of and feel welcome to the new Village on Rivoli public green space and urban farm, including 55% of the surrounding Railroad Island neighborhood and 15% overall including Dayton's Bluff and Payne Phalen, resulting in four resident driven new events per year. Performing artists gain recognition by their fellow East Siders as audience, tracking 25-150 new likes or listens online after the concerts. Assessing local engagement with crowd counts and informal (hand-raise) polls at concerts for residents from Village on Rivoli, Railroad Island, Payne-Phalen, Dayton's Bluff, greater Saint Paul, greater Twin Cities, and greater Minnesota. Check-ins one month post-events with partners including City Academy High School, Urban Roots, Railroad Island Neighborhood Group, Artist Organizers, performing artists, and others to gauge event response and greater awareness of Rivoli public greenspaces among their constituents.
Events exceeded estimates for artists and audience, with 1200+ adult participants, 400+ youth participants and involving 37 adult artists. Response from audience and artists was overwhelmingly positive, grateful across the board for the release and connection. DBNHS social media saw increased page views in the week of each event, and gained 130 page follows between the first and last.
