ACHF Arts Access
In 2016, artists Sha Cage, EG Bailey and Greta McLain will engage the residents of Richfield in arts engagements that enhance and activate a public space. Through monthly meetings of the project team, creative evaluation activities infused in the arts programming and bi-annual formal written and verbal evaluations. 2: To test the effectiveness of an artist in residence program in the city of Richfield to inform long-range planning. Throughout the year, we will invite feedback from both the artists and the community to inform the planning of an ongoing artist in residence program. Recommendations and next steps will be the result of this outcome.
Artists made art with or came into contact with almost 500 diverse people in Richfield, Minnesota. The artists and RARE 2 evaluator interacted formally and informally with a number of participants and over the course of their projects, and they kept track of the number and age, race, and geographic origin of the people with whom they interacted. They submitted their results to Forecast on an ongoing basis at monthly project meetings and at the end of the project. 2: RARE 2 gathered a range of feedback and recommendations on how to integrate artists and arts programming into the Lyndale Garden Center development. Methods included monthly meetings of the RARE 2 team (the artists, the director of community engagement at Forecast, the community arts coordinator at Cornerstone, the project evaluator/documenter) where the team shared and documented findings from the field and ongoing projects and interviews that the project evaluator conducted with community participants and members of the community advisory council.
