ACHF Arts Access
Provide safe, accessible seating for patrons to be exposed to the arts from all demographics. The evaluation plan is to have a simple voluntary survey given to people in those seats prior to a production that they can simply leave at the door on their way out. This will be done during the first production after seats are installed (A Christmas Story). This surveys can then be analyzed by staff and Board members to see the success of the project. If people attending a production feel comfortable, safe, and are not distracted by seating...it will be a success for the organization.
Qualitative gathering has been very positive from people on the stronger and more comfortable seating.
