ACHF Arts Access
Minnesota professional artists and arts organizations have more opportunities to tour their work throughout the state.
We toured I AM ANNE FRANK to Winona, ALICE UNWRAPPED to New York Mills, ALICE UNWRAPPED to Fergus Falls, THE VIEW FROM HERE to Plainview, and NAUTILUS IN CONCERT to Bigfork. Evaluation was ongoing, with constant contact between sponsor and artists; we then did a follow up through phone interviews. We also solicited written comments from audiences in Winona via email.
