Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

A twice monthly evening art activity with local professional artists and a display of the children's art will be set up in the Heart Gallery.We will collect anecdotal stories from children, family, staff and artists. Our roving reporter program will capture video and audio testimonials. An online survey that currently goes out to all families who stay at Ronald McDonald House includes several questions about all components of the program.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Developed a bi-monthly visiting artist program with 2 artists currently assisting. Both have donated supplies for some of the art projects. There are almost always families still present when the programs end at 8pm. The pop open frames in the heart gallery are filled and can be switched out easily.
