Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

1. Three to eight women and children of Anna Marie's Shelter will regularly attend artist in residence sessions. 2. Women and children will report positive experiences through feedback from surveys. 3. The residency will result in artworks for display or personal use for the participants. 4. Anna Marie's Shelter will deliver photographs of the artwork as an exhibition to a local gallery or business. 5. The Artist in Residence, Jennifer Hill, will report satisfaction with this project. 1. After each session with the women a brief written survey will be given. The children will be given an oral survey. 2. Photos of the artwork will be put on public display. 3. The photos of the artwork will be displayed at the shelter.

Measurable Outcome(s)

33 women and 55 children attended the artist in residence sessions. There was regular attendance as much as possible. However when dealing with people in crisis, there are often other issues they must attend to. The feedback from the surveys was very positive. The residents and children did create artworks for their personal use. There was an exhibition at the Saint Cloud Public Library to display the works and talk about this project.
