ACHF Arts Access
The outcome Arts Nest will achieve using this grant is to produce a project that will involve 20 emerging artists. Arts Nest hopes that at least 75% of the artists involved will consider this project a significant step towards establishing themselves in the local artistic community. Arts Nest will give both pre-production and post-production surveys to artists to get a sense of their expectations going in and how the experience matched those expectations.
19 emerging artists were involved in this process. Many professional connections were forged, and several are already discussing working on future projects together. 100% of participants believed this process meaningful enough to recommend it to others in their position.
