Funding received did in fact increase Arts Access for the seniors Summit Music served by removing financial and logistical barriers to arts participation. Each of the Arts Access points were positive for the project and we were able to evaluate this through talking to senior residents directly, discussion and written statements from musicians, a google survey sent to senior community staff, reviewing our documentation of the project as well as observing senior residents and musicians during concerts. Through methods of evaluation, we received valuable feedback from senior residents, staff and our musicians. Staff communicated regularly with great enthusiasm and gratitude about the concerts. Musicians noted many specific moments during concerts that they witnessed music have a positive affect on senior residents. Senior community staff surveys and interviews have been positive and completely validate our mission to fund as many senior concerts as we can to increase arts access.
