Community Arts Support
ACHF Arts Access
Our membership and audience numbers increase as a result of outreach. Minnesota Center Chorale promotes membership through additional radio ads, Facebook ads and postcards, attracting new members to audition for Minnesota Center Chorale. Minnesota Center Chorale Chamber Singers perform one additional free outreach concert than they have in past years. Minnesota Center Chorale participates in annual Choral Community concert in St Cloud and a Community/High School Choral concert in Swanville. Laura Capes uses Chamber of Commerce membership to network, develop stronger marketing/fundraising methods, and increase community outreach. Minnesota Center Chorale will survey participants (members and concert attendees). After the free performance, the Artistic director will update the Board on the success of the endeavor. Minnesota Center Chorale’s participation in these concerts will attract new audience and choir members.
We maintained our audience and increased our outreach for 2015. We evaluated this via ticket sales and estimate that we had additional 200 at our Austrian bon voyage concert, 500 at our Choral Community concert, and 900 at our Thanksgiving concert where we did not measure attendance by ticket sales because they were free. Additionally, we promoted membership through additional radio, Facebook, and postcard ads. We sold 9 tickets via Facebook ads in our first year trying them.
