ACHF Arts Access
Exhibiting fine art to a wide audience. Educating the public on the importance of art and creativity. Allowing artists and their art to be recognized by the public. Inclusivity with a goal of better cultural understanding and acceptance.; As was mentioned earlier, our goals include exhibiting fine, handmade art to a wide audience who may otherwise not experience it first-hand. Direct contact with the artist, and in some cases, demonstrations, can educate and enlighten the public and lead to a greater awareness of the importance of art and creativity in our lives. So much of the art at Millstream has a connection to nature through its organic origins--whether it's clay for pottery, wool or leather for fiber art, glass, metal or wood. Art can bring a deeper appreciation of nature and vice versa. Another expected outcome is for artists to contribute to their livelihoods and to have their art recognized by the general public. We will strive for inclusivity with our artists, performers and audience with a goal of better cultural understanding and acceptance. Evaluation includes surveys of our artists and local businesses and comments/suggestions via word of mouth from our patrons.
Attendance increased over previous Art Fairs. The in person Survey by MCBS Board members, volunteers and Art Fair Committee during the Art Fair evaluated a sizable population of different cultural heritages, physical abilities, ages and visitors from areas outside of our local community. The online evaluation through website and Facebook showed positive comments and intent to return next year.
