ACHF Arts Access
Surveys of participants, teaching artists and Hammer caregivers showed 95% of respondents had new experiences and learned new skills on writing and performance. Evaluation will be done by participants, teaching artists and Hammer caregivers, using paper and pencil surveys at the end of each four week class regarding the experience and skills learned, and will include both qualitative and quantitative components.
A total of 20 individuals living with developmental disabilities who are supported by Hammer Residences were able to participate in this artistic experience in a time where the ability to be active in the community was severely limited because of the pandemic. The writings were published, including author bios, and select writings were animated and narrated by the artists themselves.
