Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of our art initiatives, school aged children and teens will participate in an inclusive, supportive arts experience that will promote each child's confidence and enthusiasm in their own unique creative ideas without fear. Evaluation will occur through several processes including a pre-event survey to help shape the scope of the artistic programming, a post-event questionnaire that provides participants the opportunity to reflect on their experience, and, for the teen contest, there will be judges critiquing the student work and sharing their review with each student.
