Measurable Outcome(s)
759 individuals (estimated) from nineteen partners received 706 contact hours of high quality visual arts instruction. MCFTA received participation estimates in advance from program sites in order to facilitate planning. Teaching artists kept a record of participation and contact hours for each class session. MCFTA collected summaries and tabulated this data, confirming that we exceeded our goal in terms of the number of participants and partners served as well as the number of contact hours of instruction.
