The program provides access to and participation in the art of public sculpture to more people. The City secures a prominent location for displaying public art made by students. The community anticipates each unveiling and benefits educationally. In order to evaluate our goals for this grant, we intend to gather stories from student/artist participants, conduct interviews with local citizens and collect data showing attendance numbers at the capstone event.
Students used new art materials and processes beyond curricular offerings. Students enthusiastically applied for and participated in the creation of a collaborative large-scale public sculpture, and endearingly celebrated the outcome at the capstone event
