ACHF Arts Access
Our goal for this project is that this equipment will enhance our ability to provide high quality arts activities for all audience segments for events presented at a variety of venues in the community. We fully expect that our tech director will know the difference, the artists performing will know the difference and the audiences will know the difference and reap the benefit of improved sound equipment. This project will be evaluated in the following ways throughout the project: quality and cooperative planning between DBAA, the school district and the vendor providing equipment; success with ordering the equipment and coordinating the schedule of delivery of equipment; and satisfaction with the quality of the equipment will be measured by DBAA, district music staff and performing artists in the season.
