Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Emerging Hmong animation and graphic artists will gain new career development skills to provide a pathway for employment in the arts. Outcome will be evaluated through professional critique and recommendations from mentors, and pre- and post-program surveys measuring the strength of the apprenticeships and growth of the participants. 2: The DIAL will expand our reach to early-professional Hmong animation and graphic artists, who previously have not been served by our organization. We will measure this outcome through the number of applicants to the program and the number of audiences for our project, and qualitative input from program participants.
