Operating Support
ACHF Arts Access
1) Hire a part time business manager to do tasks currently done by chorale members. This goal will help keep the arts thriving in Minnesota, by freeing the board and chorale members to pursue new promotional activities and focus on music performance. 2) Increase audience by an average of 20% by the end of the two year period. This goal addresses the belief that Minnesotans identify with the arts. 3) The chorale will engage in one performance activity each season, outside of its regular concert series, that is targeted to a broader, more diverse audience. This goal addresses the diversity of people participating in the arts. 1. The business manager will keep track of their activities and hours. 2. Audience numbers will be tracked through ticket sales at each performance. 3. Audience diversity will be tracked through survey results. 4. Programs, or other evidence, of promotional activities and the number attending them. 5. The board will conduct a performance evaluation of the staff person semi-annually.
