Arts Legacy Grant
ACHF Arts Access
The variety and number of arts opportunities in Northwest Minnesota will increase through providing a summer production that encourages High School Youth participation with repeat participation throughout time. Evaluation will occur through an audience and participant questionnaire, personal observation of activities, attendance numbers, and interviews.
We did not capture evaluation via questionnaire; personal observation of the audience throughout the production was very positive. Our attendance numbers far exceeded our expectations - we sold out each performance. Other ways we believe this activity "changed the lives" of those who participated: 1) all cast and crew were local volunteers, given the opportunity to offer quality artistic experiences to the public. 2) Actors and musicians were able to foster their personal and artistic growth, and gave back to the community with their talents. 3) In this show we honored our local veterans. The community benefitted by the opportunity to share their veteran stories - our upper gallery featured photographs and stories of veterans. We partnered with our local Quilts of Valor chapter which honored two World War II veterans (during intermission) We partnered with local businesses to sponsor our production giving them an opportunity to support local arts programming.
