ACHF Arts Access
People in Central and Northern Minnesota will experience music, dance and stories from Haiti or Japan and gain a better understanding of these cultures. Audiences will be given a post-program evaluation with questions about the experience and what they learned. Artists and libraries report on the observed audience experience through an online evaluation. Number and location of libraries is tracked.
Almost 4000 people in Northern and Central Minnesota experienced and learned about the music, dance, stories and culture of Haiti and Japan through performances. We tracked sites and attendance; Performances were followed by Q and A time; Audience members and library staff completed a paper evaluation that asked what they learned, what they liked, and demographic questions; Librarians gave evaluations to COMPAS.
