ACHF Arts Access
Visual Arts Minnesota will have a desktop computer for volunteers and staff to work on for designing promotional collateral, updating databases and mailing lists and managing program data. Visual Arts Minnesota will have a set of 12 portable easels to utilize for pop up exhibitions and rental to community groups. Visual Arts Minnesota will have a hanging system installed at it's office location in the common area for professional display of fine art for exhibitions and events. Measurable will be the use of the hanging system and easels. We will be able to count how many times the equipment is used to display visual art. The use of a desktop computer will strengthen the organization and output of our services.
