Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

HP will support BIPOC artists in learning and professional development: studio access, community partnerships, and collaborative print publishing. Outcomes will be evaluated through increased BIPOC participation across programs, accessible workshops, and growth in community partnerships, as well as qualitative and anecdotal feedback and surveys from participants. 2: Approaching our 25th year, HP board and staff will develop mission-aligned activities that celebrate printmaking and community and engage audiences. Evaluated through the success of a milestone exhibition, a series of public events, free workshops, and public learning activities. Surveys, participant numbers, and documentation will be collected to evaluate the success of these activities.
