Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

ôMosaic Pollinatorsö will teach mosaic arts to 100 people, both youth and adults, who will create public art pieces to be installed where they live and work. 75% of neighbors surveyed will respond favorably to the installations. Arts learners will take a pre and post-test to measure knowledge of and competency in mosaic technique, and will participate in group evaluations at the end of each workshop. Neighbors and peers from the Lake Street Cultural Corridor will be surveyed on the quality and community impact of the art installations.

Measurable Outcome(s)

A total of 138 people participated in mosaic workshops, and created public art for their communities. Pre and post assessments showed that over 85% of participants felt energized to create art with others, and 100% showed growth in some or all mosaic skills. 100% of neighbors responding to our post installation survey expressed support (and often delight) at the installation of the public art.
