Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

60 East Side youth will engage at least 100 participants in a mural design process that will result in a high-quality community mural. 10 Urban Roots youth will participate in 4 design sessions, plan the listening sessions and pop-up events, and the final community celebration event, which will include food, and a visual history of the mural design and painting process. Community members will be invited to listening sessions, surveyed for their design opinions, and engaged in 3 community painting parties. The mural installation should be installed in May of 2018. Urban Roots youth will track participation levels with event sign-in sheets, evaluate design input through listening sessions and through comment sheets distributed at each of multiple events. A final assessment will be a post-installation discussion with artists and youth.

Measurable Outcome(s)

60 East Side youth engaged over 140 participants in the mural design and paint process. Over the year, 22 Urban Roots youth participated in 8 design sessions, 3 community paint sessions, and a final community celebration, with food and artists and youth descriptions of the process. 40 people attended the event - including youth interns, artists and community members.
