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 participant and visitor feedback, attendance estimates, library acquisitions, 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 and off-site programs, and through our Visual Arts Fund, as well as the number of interns we have, attendance at public programs, and library circulation.
Midway's visitors spent time engaging with art through our library collection, ongoing Off-Site exhibition, public presentations, and book launches. Murad Sayf shared: I discovered Midway's library as I was graduating high school. It made me feel like art and design was accessible to me even without an education or background. It's incredible what a cozy library and a welcoming person can do. 2: Midway granted $60,000 to 6 artist organized projects, welcomed student groups from local colleges, had 5 interns, and presented public programs. Artist Alondra Garza shared: The VAF made my dream come true of having an unconventional space that compensates artists for participating in the exhibitions. That was super important to me, and it wouldn't have been possible without your support.
