ACHF Arts Access
6: ?The infrastructure of arts organizations is strengthened through access to operating funds, professional development and best practices sharing.? Our top goal during the period funded by this grant will be to continue to introduce our organization to new customers through promotion and outreach. By making more people aware of what we do, we in turn hope to draw more people through our doors to buy tickets. We are confident we can keep our current patrons coming back, and likewise, believe newcomers to our building will be impressed enough to return in the future We constantly strive to make improvements to our productions, our publicity and our outreach into the area. We constantly query our patrons on what they like and where they feel we could have done better through surveys to random attendees at our productions. Results are analyzed throughout the year by our board of directors and our path forward is molded through these discussions.
