Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

One artist will increase skills to produce murals using an emerging technique through the project, to be completed by January 31, 2019. 180 people with intellectual disabilities will participate in arts development and programming through this project by January 31, 2019. Presbyterian Family Foundation will create a one test mural that is inspired by and created by people with intellectual disabilities that is visible and valued in the community by January 31, 2019. For this planning grant, participation (counts) will be tracked through sign in forms at the design sessions and during the painting events. Project satisfaction during the design sessions and the painting of the mural will be gained from participants using an interactive method where they will drop a specific object into one of two vessels that will signify satisfaction with the project or dissatisfaction with the project. Participant follow-up will occur with 10-15 people using a short interview model. This will be adjusted by the person interviewing based on the cognitive abilities of the person being interviewed. This will inform the future project.

Measurable Outcome(s)

121 participants in the project. Using the two-bowl/bead system, we had one person enter a bead into the NOT FUN bowl, the other 43 beads entered were in the FUN bowl. Of the participants interviewed, 37 of 37 were excited about the painting process and participating in the project. None expressed dislike for the activity.
