PublicPerception Overall,themajorityofthe participantsareawareofthe KauffmanCenter.Themain observationofthefacilityisthat itisabeautifulbuilding,butnot kid-friendly.Oneteachernoted, “wefeelafraidtoeventouchthe spaceoftheKauffman,becauseit feelstoopretty.”Theparticipants’ perceptionoftheKauffman Centeristhatonlyformalevents areheldthere,withthesymphony andballetcomingtotheminds ofparentsandteachersfirst. Thechildrenrecalledofevents thattheyattendedwithaschool fieldtrip,suchasaglow-in-the- darkdanceperformance.The beautifularchitecturemadea strongerimpactonparticipants thantheeventsheldthere. Preferences Whenaskedaboutpreferencesfor choosinganinteractiveprogram, therewasaconsensusamong theparticipants.Parentsand teachersagreedthatanytypeof programthroughtheKauffman Centermustbecost-efficient. Mostparentssaidthattheywould bemoreinclinedtoattendan eventwiththeirchildrenifitwere freeorlowincost.Therewere multiplecomparisonsmadeto theNelson-AtkinsMuseumofArt andprogramstheyhavedonein thepast.Oneparticipantnoted, “theeventsarefreeandmake themfeelmorecomfortablewhen goingoutofherwaytogotothe Nelson,evenwhenaneventisn’t takingplace.”Theparticipantsalso agreedthatprogramsshouldbe hands-onandkid-friendly.The childrensaidthattheywouldwant somethingthatisrelativelyshort andthatitwouldbe,“cooltogo backstageandbehindthescenes.” Thefinalconsensuswasthatthe kidsrespondbettertoprograms thatincorporaterecognizable songsandcharacters. Obstacles Acommonobstaclefromteachers wasalackoftransportationand fundingtogettotheKauffman Center.Therewasalsoconcernfor alackoftimeduringschoolhours tofitinatriptotheKauffman Centerintothenormalschedule. Anotherconcernfromteachers, isthattheartsdidnotsatisfythe curriculumbeingtaughtintheir schoolsandwouldnothelptheir studentsonthestateassessment tests.Theparentparticipantssaid thatiftheyweretoincorporate timefortheKauffmanCenter,that theschedulingwouldneedto befarinadvance,orduringthe summer.Forparents,weekends areeasiertoattend,butmany arebusywiththeirchildren’s otheractivitiesduringthattime. Anegativeperceptionofthe KauffmanCenteristhatthefine artsareassociatedwithhighcost.
