COMPAS enriches its programming to increase and deepen opportunities for adults living with a disability to meaningfully engage in the arts. We will track number of new strategies teaching artists can use to modify art creation to accommodate a variety of people, arts residencies developed, types or structure of programs we run (e.g., mentorships), and partners we engage. 2: Adults who live with a disability work with COMPAS artists and each other to increase competencies in the arts and build a community of artists. Online or verbal surveys of artists, site staff, and participants will measure changes in participants’ artistic skills, techniques, and on-going arts practice, opportunities to create art, social connections with each other and site staff.
Documented six new strategies; fifteen new residencies developed; four new program structures: online, art kits, mentorship, Idea Exchanges; five new partners. Data from teaching artists gathered through online or written surveys, email exchanges, and in-person communication. COMPAS tracked data on partners and programs in our database. 2: 100% of evals: participants increased understanding of artform and social connections increased. More than usual: people continued art after the program. Feedback from sites, TA's, and participants gathered through surveys, email and in-person communication. Feedback about continuing an arts practice was requested in comment form. That was compared to previous programs.
