Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Participants will indicate that 75% learned a new art form and that 60% have very few arts opportunities in the summer months. Evaluation: Written evaluations are completed by the lead artist, each guest artist, intern, volunteers and participants, as well as informal evaluation interviews with ESAC staff. The intern also completes a daily log including numbers of participants, demographics and comments from participants. All evaluation data is compiled in a report at the end of the program, enabling ESAC to determine how well the program met its artistic goals, how each site fit for the program, and what changes if any should be made to improve Artmobile for the next summer. To determine the program’s success, ESAC relies upon a combination of qualitative and quantitative data and allows ample time for reflection upon lessons learned at the end of each week.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Approximately 205 youths attended Artmobile more than 75% indicated that they learned a new art form. More than 60% indicated they had few arts activities during the summer especially because of COVID. The fact that Artmobile was held outdoors with CDC guidelines followed made it a unique and needed arts opportunity for inner city diverse youth.
