Project Grant
ACHF Arts Access
Attendance will average 150 per concert. Survey data will show people in attendance because the concerts are local and free. At least 75 percent of audience will be satisfied with the programs. A group based in the Delano area will have performed, providing General Federated Women's Club of Delano an opportunity to give back to our local area. The performers will have a positive experience. Audience members will suggest groups/musical styles for future events. Sponsors and community leaders will provide positive feedback. Our primary evaluation tool will be an audience survey at each concert. Questions will include demographic information, arts access questions, performance related questions, and suggestions for future programs.
The evaluation tool was a survey completed by audience members at each concert. A longer survey was given to people attending their first concert in order to collect some demographic information only once. Our average attendance of just over 100 people did not reach the desired goal of 150. The survey data showed that the free, local concerts removed transportation and cost barriers for some audience members. Sixteen people (across three concerts) indicated a need for transportation. More than half of the audience members indicated they attend free events, while most will occasionally purchase tickets for arts events. The survey data showed that audience satisfaction with program quality far exceeded the goal. We presented a local group. Audience members gave many suggestions for future programs. We review this audience input while planning programs for the next summer. Business and community leaders were happy, as evidenced by their financial support and door prize donations.
