Measurable Outcome(s)

Participants make connections and increase commitment to community through collaborative art making that honors each other and the natural environment. SENA tracked participation at activity oriented events. We have yet to hold an unveiling event to share the finished work with the community due to production delays and our current social environment. 2: Folwell students develop skills in the create, perform and respond process, creating text that inspires the design and construction of mosaic benches. Feedbak and reporting from teaching artists and teachers at the school. SENA was not made privy to the teacher evaluations due to personnel changes at the school.
