ACHF Arts Access
Maintain and strengthen Minnesotans' connections to art through programs at our new exhibition space, library, and across the Twin Cities. We will evaluate progress based on tracked exhibition project attendance estimates and library acquisitions, as well as participant feedback, critical response, and the lifespan of previously commissioned projects. 2: Continue to provide career opportunities, connections and resources for artists and curators from Minnesota. We will track the number of artists supported through our exhibition/off-site programs and through our Visual Arts Fund, as well as number of interns, attendance at public programs, and library circulation.
Midway's visitors spent time engaging with art through our library collection, video and sculpture exhibitions, and events. Artist Michael Hansen shared, 'I started hanging around Midway when I was in high school, and it greatly improved my creative process and general outlook on life and culture. Without a place like Midway, I genuinely would not be living here still.'. 2: Midway granted $60,000 to six groups of artists, worked with four library interns, produced two exhibitions and one catalog, and hosted ten events. Feedback from the artists we worked with was overwhelmingly positive. Local Somali artist Kaamil Haider shared, 'they have supported me and my artistic community in ways that allowed us to cultivate the possible out of the impossible.'.
