ACHF Arts Access
Outcomes include attendance at the Writers Conference (both in-person and virtual) and attendance at our Young Writers Workshop. Other outcomes will reflect online interest in our historical production and creative writing curriculum. We gather written feedback completed by the Writers Conference participants. We also chart attendance data in person and virtual. We attempt to track online streaming use of THE LIFE AND LOVES OF SINCLAIR LEWIS and the accompanying study guide.
