ACHF Arts Access
Our artistic goal is to engage the community in the creation and appreciation of public art. Success is getting people to come out and participate and create a finished product that proves we can do public art in West Saint Paul, engaging even a handful of people would be a success because we've never done anything like this. Evaluating this project is simple: If we can bring out the community to create a lasting artistic element at the park so it begins to visually embody the name art park, that's a win. We'll also do participant counts and post-event feedback so we can gauge the level of engagement and learn how to improve future projects.
We had 178 people directly involved in creating public art, plus 113 who took an online survey guiding the project, plus nearly 1,400 who watched the project video online. So 291 people actively engaged with the project. In our post-event survey, nearly 90% said they had a good or great experience on the project. Feedback was overwhelmingly positive!
