ACHF Arts Access
Approximately 8,000 low-income, underserved children and youth and 4,000 adults from diverse cultures participate in the arts each year due to East Side Arts Council’s free or low cost programming. We will design, hire artists and weave the arts into our community with our out of school day programs for at risk inner city youth, our drop in Artmobile, bringing the arts to events, public art projects, poetry reading events at our Poetry Art Park and hosting performances. East Side Arts Council tracks participation data, and uses evaluation methods like the Youth Program Quality Assessment to give artists tools to work with inner city youth. Participant focus groups and written evaluations by artists and partners help to improve quality of work. 2: At least 75 artists gain career enhancing compensation, visibility, training, or other quantifiable benefit from East Side Arts Council. Professional artists will be hired and paid for all their work on our projects. Staff evaluate youth arts programs using the Youth Program Quality Assessment tool. East Side Arts Council artists engage in reflective meetings with staff and fill out written evaluations which assess residencies and the public art process.
12,653 low income, underserved youth participated in the arts in accessible neighborhood settings and 3,779 adults participated in community art events with East Side Arts Council. 78 artists gained career-enhancing compensation, visibility and training to teach classes and create public art. Artists also sold their work in the arts council gallery.
