ACHF Arts Access
With this project senior participants will develop their creative voices while learning new artistic skills and creating original art work in free classes taught by professional artists. 100 seniors will participate in these arts experiences which will connect them with other people of this age group on the East Side of Saint Paul. Evaluation will be carried out by trained East Side Arts Council staff to compare program outcomes to the benchmarks described in our stated goals to support a continuous cycle of improvement. Participants and artists will discuss interests and what they would like to get out of the classes prior to sessions and follow up with written evaluations after the each series of classes with East Side Arts Council looking at evaluations for ways to improve throughout the program.
Our written evaluations showed more than 90% of participants felt they learned an area of visual art, poetry and storytelling that they didn't know before.
