ACHF Arts Access
The number of Minnesotans who are able to participate in the arts increases. The quality, types and number of arts opportunities in our region, and the organizations or venues that offer them increases. The number of Minnesotans who are engaged in arts education and learning opportunities increases. Our evaluation survey will be conducted through the La Grande Bande website and through paper forms. Participants of the program's activities will be invited to take the survey, including the masterclasses, the outreach concert, the open rehearsals, and the season concerts. The invitations to take the survey will be given verbally at the time of each event, directly in the program booklets, and through email communications. We will also provide printed surveys at each event.
We did have an online survey available. The link was in the description for the YouTube videos. We did not have anyone complete the surveys.
