Measurable Outcome(s)

Funding allowed us to provide high-quality arts programming directly impacting hundreds of underserved seniors with dementia and their care partners through dementia-friendly choruses in the Twin Cities, development and growth of arts partnerships to advance inclusion of people with Alzheimer?s and dementia, and strengthening of our program delivery to reduce barriers to participation during ongoing Covid-related lockdowns and restrictions. Evaluation was conducted through interviews and conversations with singers with dementia and their care partners, surveying of program participants and audience members, reviewing recorded information and documentation such as registration records and ticket sales, and through direct observation of program and agency activities.
