Community Arts
ACHF Arts Access
This project serves a considerable amount of artist, attendees, and production participants. It consist of approximately fifty to over seventy performers depending on how many individuals are in each act, of which 2-15% have been kids or pre-teens, 60% teens, and 25% adults. Attendees served last year were approximately 35 kids, 30 seniors, 50 teens, and 50 adults. The night of the showcase, evaluation sheets will be passed out to attendees upon their arrival and collected on their way out. A week after the showcase, an evaluation sheet is emailed to presenters, staff, technicians, project leaders, board, and volunteers for feedback on overall production success encouraging suggestions to strengthen future showcases. This process benefits the learning experiences for all who are involved, from staff to project leaders, performers and viewers. The board will meet a week after the showcase to watch the video to critique and take notes for future improvements.
The project served 15 volunteers, 10 staff, 60 artists, 9 active artistic directors/dance coaches that were active in the preparation of their group's presentation, and approximately 220 attendees. Another amazing outcome was the range or diversity presented in the showcase performance acts; Ellen Keane of Keane Sense of Rhythm stated in her evaluation feedback, "This is by far the most diverse showcase in Minnesota!"
