Operating Support
ACHF Arts Access
1. Each visiting artist will provide an additional educational or outreach opportunity for the community to connect with them. 2. Collaborate with other arts and cultural organizations in the region to ensure that participation in our programming is not limited by access to our facility. Personal interviews, patron feedback, ticket sales.
All artists engaged provided an educational or outreach component to their visit. We provided school matinees for elementary through high school students, pre-show and post-show talks and conversations, master classes, public lectures on the history of instruments or art-making, a workshop on professional musician issues, and a songwriting workshop. We provided twenty-one educational or outreach events--in addition to season performances--with community partners, including two Gatherings at the Library, with Winona Public Library; two A Page in History events, with Winona County History Center; one mini-concert with the City of Winona Senior Friendship Center; two Acoustic CafΘ workshops; one Minnesota Conservatory of the Arts; and one Winona Public High School master class. We used paper surveys inserted in programs to get feedback about our programming, marketing, and preferred future artists.
