ACHF Arts Access ACHF Arts Education
To bring artists into one-on-one situations with people of all ages in our region. To share with residents different cultures, music, dance, acting techniques, visual art and storytelling activities. To make the world a bit smaller and more realistic for youth.Participating in arts outreach activities coordinated by the Holmes Theatre will result in: 1. Better education and feeling toward different art forms 2. Awareness of different cultures -- specifically this year Indonesia, China and southern United States Creole culture. 3. We will hit our targeted audience goals for outreach activities.
We hear over and over that individuals loved it all and asked for more. The results from the teacher/principal meetings were that they value, even more than we originally thought, the artists and opportunities we bring to their students. In particular they highlighted the dance workshops and the Mosaic Mania projects.
