Operating Support
ACHF Arts Access
Our top goal is to make the Arts Council more financially stable. Our goal is to increase membership by a minimum of 10% each year over the next two years. This would allow us to achieve our second goal of producing one new art project each year for the next two years. This would address two of the long-term strategic outcomes identified by Southwest Minnesota Arts Council: the arts are interwoven into every facet of community life and people of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities participate in the arts. We can easily see if we have achieved each of these goals. We have a record of membership donations so we can readily see if it has increased by the desired amount. We will know if we had a successful new art project each year.
One of our main goals was to increase membership and that did not happen. The other goal was to offer more programing and that we did succeed doing. Not only did we offer two bus trips to art venues in the Twin Cities, we offered two days of free workshops at Sibley Park. All these events were very well attended.
