ACHF Arts Education
NCC's ART@HAND program will grow its experience-based, hands on arts programming in clay to engage more Minnesotans ages 55+ in arts learning. We will produce 65 new programs, reaching over 900 people. Participants, partner staff, and teaching artists will reflect and evaluate activities success throughout the programs and apply feedback. 2: Exposure to ceramic arts through ART@HAND will provide benefits for Minnesotans age 55+, including socialization, mobility, and cognitive improvement. Success measures: positive growth in qualitative and quantitative data. Expected outcomes: deeper relationships, strengthened teacher experience, appreciation of clay arts, mental, and physical benefits.
