Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Work toward arts integration on a neighborhood scale, engaging diverse stakeholders to increase creative community development activity. Neighborhood and audience surveys will show increases in creative activity and engagement with local arts offerings; pre-post surveys of artists will gauge impact; public art projects will be documented through photos, news media, video, etc. 2: Increase attachment, agency and access among artists, underserved residents of target area and participants in Pillsbury House Neighborhood Center programs. ClientTrack data shows participant demographics, length and intensity of participation. Pre-post observations show impact on skill, attitude, and behavior. In-event surveys show increase in attachment.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Fifty artists created twenty-three placemaking/public art projects which engaged 2495 community members in creative activity in their neighborhood. Evaluation tools were: pre-post artist and audience ‘in-event’ surveys; photo documentation, media articles and relationship mapping. Sample result: 86% of people attending placemaking activities and events made a connection with someone new. 2: 13,986 diverse artists, neighborhood residents and participants engaged in Pillsbury House Theatre arts activities and programs in FY 2014. Evaluation included tracking demographics and attendance, pre-post observations and ‘in-event’ surveys. Sample result: 96.2% of people surveyed indicated that participation made them feel more connected to the neighborhood.
