ACHF Arts Access
The arts are interwoven into every facet of community life as a result of Northern Clay Center expanding its program partners; deepening relationships with long-time partners; identifying opportunities for satellite sales; touring exhibitions; increasing educational partners; and using its website in a more effective and efficient way. Northern Clay Center tracks activities, participants, sales, and collaborations and compares figures to previous years. 2: People of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate in the arts as Northern Clay identifies new program partners that reach underserved populations and partners with liaisons to other cultural communities. Surveys and participant evaluations will show an increase in the diversity of our audience (age, ethnicity, need).
Northern Clay Center produced programs that wove the clay arts into every facet of community life through on and offsite collaborations that reached 119 Minnesota artists; advanced clay arts through offerings for youth and adults; toured exhibits to five sites and collaboratively produced four more; conducted offsite sale of pots; increased web sales; served 19,500 people. All ages, ethnicities and abilities participated in the arts through specially-designed programs that served a record number of people who spanned the spectrum of ages reaching over 10,000 youth, families, and seniors. We identified new partners and worked with representatives to better reach diverse communities.
