Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Student surveys showed that 70% of participants developed a desire to take more visual art classes in the next 12 months. 90% of students indicated they could feel the benefit of the visual art class on their sense of community and wellbeing. Evaluation methods will include, but are not limited to: Participant count, Participant surveys, Teaching Artist surveys, and facility partner surveys. RRAC will also be evaluating how many participants enroll in future classes at the art center or at a partner facility as a direct indication of the influence the program had on the participants.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Registration for all eight RRAC Free Senior Art Classes filled 100% (20 participants) within three weeks of opening registration and a wait-list of 20+ people was created. Participant surveys showed that 99% of respondents were satisfied by the class and indicated their ability to express themselves creatively was enhanced. 230 people participated in the Senior Art-Reach classes in the community.
