ACHF Arts Access
Art aRound Town's goal is to expose adults and youth alike a variety of genres of art. We anticipate 1000 adults and 500 youth will be exposed to and experiencing the Art aRound Town event. Our goal is not only to expose residents to genres of art, but to find, highlight, and promote our local artists from South Saint Paul. Our evaluation plan will include a variety of evaluations including number of residents participating, as well as post and pre performance feedback. Residents are excited that the grant was applied for and are looking forward to participate. Surveys will be considered and as well as a comment bulletin board.
One of the most significant outcomes, in fact, I would say, the number one outcome is art popping up all over South St. Paul and people are excited and talking about art. Since Art aRound Town, businesses along the business corridor are having their windows and walls painted and businesses and residents are excited to see the additions and how it is making the town welcoming and so fun to see.
