Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

At least 75% of MAAP participants will develop increased artistic quality, knowledge of the media industry, art that resonates with audiences, and increased self-esteem and cultural pride as artists of color. Additionally, 100% of the work will contribute to a community media art work that authentically represents the community. The DIAL and our advisory committee will routinely conduct project evaluations and make appropriate adjustments to the project as needed to ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of MAAP for all parties. We will regularly monitor and survey participants, staff and partners, who will help us measures both satisfaction and achievement of the goals and objectives.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The DIAL was able to recruit and professionally mentor 4 MAAP apprentices from the Asian American community, and partnered them with 3 media professionals from the same community to increase the young artists' professional artistic levels of output, knowledge of the creative profession, and cultural pride as artists of color, through the production of a professional media arts project.
