ACHF Arts Access
There are three goals to this project: 1. Increase public awareness of the arts and educational opportunities that are provided by the Lyric Center for the Arts. This will be measured in: a. Increased access to the Lyric's web site. A one-year and two-year analytic audit will be done to measure effectiveness and access. b. The Lyric will analyze trends in attendance and correspondence related to programs advertised in local and social media. c. The Lyric will compare program income at the end of year one and year two and compare with 2015 and 2016. 2. Utility costs will decrease. Utilities are our leading costs, taking dollars away from providing programs. The Lyric will compare electrical usage and costs at the end of year one and year two with costs from 2015 and 2016. 3. Through focus groups with area artists, and others, we know there is a need for a place to do film screenings. Installation of a screen will allow us to meet those needs. 1. Increase public awareness. This will be measured in a. A one-year and two-year analytic audit will be done of the Lyric's web site to record usage and compare to 2015. b. In addition to measuring attendance, random surveys will be done to learn where audience members learned of the event they attend. c. The Lyric will use data collected in Quick Books to compare program income at the end of year one and year two and compare with 2015 and 2016. 2. The Lyric will compare Utility bills to compare electrical usage and costs at the end of year one and year two with costs from 2015 and 2016. 3. At the time of this request we have already had two bookings for film screening. We will report on the number of times the screen is used in the first and second year of the grant.
