ACHF Arts Access
Minnesotans will grow and learn new skills by participating in creative arts experiences, led by practicing artists, in schools and community sites. Participants' experiences and impact tracked through evaluations filled out by partner site contacts and artists, partner and artist observations, and various participant pre and post-reflections and surveys. Types of community partners/sites will be trac 2: Minnesotans of all ethnicities, ages and abilities have increased access to quality, hands-on programs that are designed to meet their specific needs. We will track participant demographic information provided by sites, if and how well we met customer specific goals, modifications made to meet community needs or goals, tools/training we create or share to help artists engage more Minnesotans.
90% of evaluations say participants learned a new, or increased an existing, creative skill. All programs were led by artists in schools and community sites. COMPAS: -Asked artists and site contacts (e.g. teachers, activity directors, etc.) to report on the art that was created and if new skills / information was learned -Tracked the types of organization in which programs were held. 2: Kids to older adults, of many ethnicities, abilities and Minnesota geographies, created. 97% of sites said artist connected the art to their goals/curriculum. COMPAS: -Tracked demographics of artists and (to the best of our ability) participants, plus site locations throughout Minnesota -Surveyed artists and sites about participant inclusivity and activities, making programs accessible, and meeting site goals.
