ACC’s innovative programming and partnerships with organizations both inside and outside of the craft field provided opportunities to explore creative activities taking place in Minnesota. ACC used attendance, surveys and feedback to gauge Minnesotan’s engagement at events and activities like ACC’s Saint Paul Show, Let’s Make, Hip Pop, and Library Salons. Increased use of ACCs website, digital resources, and social media was also reviewed. 2: Through artistic excellence, unique and engaging programming, and organizational fiscal stability, ACC provides economic opportunities for artists and quality experiences for the entire Minnesota community.
