180 children will have four different opportunities to work with professionals in puppetry and art during their preschool or child care day. Roots and Wings - Growing Young Artists will culminate with an evening family event on May 12, 2017 - expected to attract 300 adult participants and 180 + children. 90% of families responding to a post event survey will rate the project positively. The Parent Board will survey staff, artists and parents to evaluate the project from the perspective of each of these constituency groups and will track the financial success of the program to stay within budget parameters. The Roots and Wings - Growing Young Artists Family event will be documented through photographs. Participant numbers will be counted and feedback will be gathered at the event as well as through an on-line survey.
