Performances occurred in new and unique spaces, including in areas immediately accessible to those who face barriers accessing the arts - outside of care facilities and in neighborhoods where residents were isolated and unable to attend larger public events. The public nature of our work brought opera, a traditionally inaccessible genre, to audiences who have limited experiences with opera and classical music. Evaluations were conducted with hosts coordinating performances in their neighborhoods and communities, and direct feedback from audiences via an electronic evaluation (a scalable QR code). 35% stated they heard about the performance via word of mouth and from friends. "Your pickup is an awesome new format... I love the smaller audiences and intimacy that brings." Anti-Racism Facilitators focused time on future hiring practice and outreach. They lead a committee on the search for key positions, job descriptions focused on equity. Committee members paid hourly for work.
