Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Work toward arts integration on a neighborhood scale, engaging diverse stakeholders to increase arts participation and creation. 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 access, attachment and agency among artists, underserved residents of target area and participants in Pillsbury House Neighborhood Center (PHNC) programs. ClientTrack data shows participant demographics and intensity of participation. Pre-post observations show impact on skill, attitude and behavior. In-event surveys show increase in value for arts and attachment.

Measurable Outcome(s)

68 artists created 32 place-making public art projects which engaged 3,452 diverse community members in creative activity in their neighborhood. Evaluations used artist pre-post and audience in-event surveys; photo documentation; and mapping attachment through display of an art object. Example result: levels of attachment to neighbors and neighborhood increased by 22-32% among participants. 2: 16,524 diverse artists, neighborhood residents and participants engaged in Pillsbury House Theatre arts activities and programs in 2015. Evaluation included tracking attendance in online database; audience surveys; and an interactive lobby installation. Sample result: 82% of people interacting with the lobby installation FLOAT indicated that PHT was essential to the community.
