Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The intended outcome of the arts program is to allow patrons the opportunity to create hands-on art projects and develop their skills as visual artists, such as creative problem solving, self-expression, small motor development, etc. A survey was distributed to receive feedback from those attending the programs.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Surveys were distributed to participants at all programs. 95% agreed that this was an enjoyable experience and 90% agreed that they would attend a similar event. Comments: Enough direction at the beginning to have the confidence to use our imagination and create our own drawings. That everything is possible if you put your mind into it. I found this experience magical

Source of Additional Funds

20 libraries provided space (two partnered for a program to held at a school), staff, and additional promotion for the programs and approximately 15 regional newspapers provided marketing through press releases, photos and interviews with artists and performers.
