Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Make the arts accessible to underserved people with mental illness while both addressing and overcoming access barriers. We will ask participants to take a pre- and post-participation survey to determine artistic knowledge and skill levels, and ask about personal concerns that keep them from participating in other artistic activities.
Measurable Outcome(s)
We addressed emotional and financial barriers making visual arts programming (art classes) accessible to individuals suffering from mental illnesses.
