WITH IMPLEMENTATION OF THE TEN PRIORITIES UNDERWAY, ARTSNOW IS VERY FOCUSED ON ADVANCING THE PLAN AND ENSURING THE INVESTMENT OF OUR RESIDENTS IS FULLY REALIZED. DURING FY23, ARTSNOW HAS BEEN FOCUSING ON THREE KEY AREAS OF THE CULTURAL PLAN: -INCLUSION, EQUITY, AND ACCESS (PRIORITIES 1 & 2): WE BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE OF ALL AGES, RACES, GENDERS, ORIENTATIONS, RELIGIONS, ABILITIES, MEANS, AND BACKGROUNDS MUST HAVE ACCESS TO AND PARTICIPATE IN THE MAKING OF A THRIVING CULTURAL SCENE. WE WORKED TO ADVANCE EFFORTS THAT MAXIMIZE ACCESS TO CULTURAL EXPERIENCES SO ALL AKRON/SUMMIT COUNTY RESIDENTS AND VISITORS FEEL LIKE VALUED GUESTS AND WELCOMED CREATORS OF ART AND CULTURE. -EXPLORE THE FINANCIAL STRENGTH OF THE CULTURAL SECTOR (PRIORITY 6): A HEALTHY CULTURAL SECTOR REQUIRES SUSTAINABLE FUNDING SOURCES IN ORDER TO MAXIMIZE ITS POTENTIAL FOR COMMUNITY IMPACT. A COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT OF SUSTAINABLE FUNDING MODELS MUST BE CREATED IN ORDER TO DETERMINE AN APPROPRIATE PATH FORWARD TO FULLY REALIZE THAT IMPACT. THIS ASSESSMENT SHOULD OBJECTIVELY EXAMINE THE CURRENT FINANCIAL HEALTH OF THE SECTOR, ITS CURRENT AND POTENTIAL ECONOMIC IMPACT, AND ASSESS THE CAPACITIES AND PRIORITIES OF THE PHILANTHROPIC, BUSINESS, AND PUBLIC SECTORS. -ENSURING TALENT IS SUPPORT IN SUMMIT COUNTY (PRIORITY 4). ARTSNOW HOSTED 8 PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOPS WITH LOCAL AND REGIONAL PRESENTERS FOR 270 ATTENDEES. ADDITIONALLY, ARTSNOW HOSTED 7 SECTOR-BUILDING LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES FOR OVER 480 PARTICIPANTS. 99% OF PARTICIPANTS INDICATED THEY WERE "VERY SATISFIED" WITH THE CONTENT OFFERINGS FROM ARTSNOW.
