Partners in Arts Participation
ACHF Arts Access
This program will serve the purpose of community building for at-risk teens as they explore their identities, develop self-pride, and share their work. A pre- and post- focus group with teens, project evaluator, and artist, along with public teen presentations, will assess the growth of community building and individual participants’ sense of accomplishment. 2: The artist and artwork materials can be brought to the neighborhood for most of the working sessions and field trip transportation is provided. The equipment and materials used in the community space will be evaluated for logistics with a feedback session between project evaluator, teen group facilitator, and artist.
The in depth art process requires diligence, and leads to a sense of accomplishment. The participants shared their work in three public settings. We discussed privately, artist and project manager and project evaluator. We had the youth write informally and we discussed their writing. We had some of the youth edit and create written formal paragraphs. We assessed the youth engagement by observation at the events. This included degree of participation, promptness, effort. 2: Artist provided an opportunity to youth in their community space in order to alleviate barriers of travel and time for the youth. We conversed and observed the youth. We noted that the ones who began the project and were engaged started setting aside time for subsequent sessions, and showed up for it. Project Evaluator, Project Manager and artist, determined in private discussion, that the workshop was successful in a private discussion where we looked at who participated and noted that, due to other responsibilities, they would otherwise have not participated.
