ACHF Arts Access
More Minnesotans will have access to and interest in live, professional performances of chamber music, orchestra, opera, and ballet. Attendance will be tracked at every performance; a post-season survey will gather specific audience responses to their experience and how attending affects their interest in the art form and seeking out other opportunities to experience it.
More Minnesotans and global audiences had access to diverse, professional, chamber music and ballet performance, streaming online. Because the season was presented digitally, access statistics from Facebook (the primary platform used) show over 60,000 views of the 15 streaming concerts produced. Approximately 68% were Minnesotans, with others tuning in from all over the world.
