ACHF Arts Access
The Paramount will provide safe, high-quality arts opportunities, both virtually and in-person, as the organization rebuilds out of the pandemic. The outcome will be evaluated by surveying participants throughout the year about their preferences and abilities in regard to safety, quality and accessibility of various arts opportunities. 2: The Paramount will provide high quality virtual and in-person (as safely allowed) exhibition and art purchase opportunities. We will evaluate through participant surveys and by monitoring online traffic/visit count throughout the year. Our goal is to safely reach regular participants and engage with new patrons, who may now have access due to geographic and physical limitations.
Over the grant period, a full roster of performing and visual arts opportunities were offered, both virtually and in-person. The evaluation method used to determine if this outcome was achieved was comparing the number of events, the quality of artists, and the number of participants from pre-Covid times to the current year. 2: Twenty exhibitions were presented in 4 different Gallery spaces and 78 classes were offered both in-person and virtually. Exhibits were evaluated by number of visitors and with a sign-in book where patrons could leave comments about the exhibit. Some exhibitions included a survey. During exhibit artist receptions, patrons could ask questions and talk with the artist.
