Art Project Legacy
ACHF Arts Access
The first goal is to engage the community in the creation of a high quality arts installation. We will know we have been successful in this goal if we reach 150 community members during the design, production and installation phases of the project. The second goal of the project is to create a learning experience for community members. Through collaboration on the production of the Riverspace Passageway, participants will learn the process of designing and installing a large group mosaic. Community members will gain skills and confidence that will allow for the future development of local projects using similar skill sets. At all points throughout the project, attendance and participation will be tracked. Because the mosaic process is labor intensive, we will closely track in-kind hours contributed to the project. At every event and working opportunity we will include a sign-up sheet that tracks individual time spent on the project as well as gathers contact information. Participants will also be invited to share photos of their experience via the New London Arts Alliance Facebook page. Participants will also be asked to take a pre and post survey to assess their skill level. The survey will help us to determine initial skill level of participants and to see what growth has taken place through their participation.
Over 250 community members participated in the creation of the project. 87% of participants stated that they had their understanding of some component of the mosaic process had been enhanced through participation. 56% or participants stated that the process had given them a better understanding of how to develop an arts project. Over 500 community members attended the unveiling of the project on 9/19/16.
