Small Arts Organization Development
ACHF Arts Access
Barriers to participation in high quality arts activities will be identified and addressed.For this project, our evaluation will be simple - a survey from those on the project team and those who interact with audience members with accessibility needs. We will share information from VSA Minnesota and ask for suggestions from those who have frequent experience with arts patrons with accessibility needs. The ADA assessment report from VSA Minnesota and the completion of an ADA Access Plan for Dawson-Boyd Arts Association will also measure outcome. One of Dawson-Boyd Arts Association's goals in this project will be to create momentum to move forward with larger changes for the facility to make Memorial Auditorium more accessible.
1. The ADA Assessment and Consultation raised awareness and provided information for Dawson-Boyd Arts Association board members and volunteers about potential barriers to purchasing tickets and attending performances. 2. An access survey was completed for Memorial Auditorium - This document is available upon request. 3. Dawson-Boyd Arts Association now has a draft Access Plan, to be reviewed and adopted by the Dawson-Boyd Arts Association Board this summer. 4. Through volunteer feedback, the need for a meeting with all volunteers who work with the public by phone or at the venue was made clear.
