Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Expand SooVAC's audience reach and foster a greater interest in the arts for older adults, while improving quality of life, health, and well-being, as well as forging connections between artists and seniors. Quantitative/qualitative evaluation methods for participants and teaching artists include activity participation numbers, focus groups, surveys, and post activity discussions with project team. The evaluation for this project is laid out in more detail in the narrative.
