Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this project, area residents will learn new art forms. They will also be challenged to think about the possibility of following their dream of becoming an artist while interacting with these artists, who all had another career before or while they were honing their respective art skills. All residents will be able to attend quality, affordable arts programming in an environment that encourages them to enjoy the creative spirit that is within each of us. We will evaluate these arts workshops by: 1. Conducting a talk back session at the wrap-up of each workshop that will document the skills each participant gained as well as what new art forms they would be interested in taking part in. 2. Conduct a short survey that collects the number of participants, zip code and age group that we have served.

Measurable Outcome(s)

About 60% of the participants that took our workshops over the course of the 10 months were new to our group of dedicated artists. This is exactly what we were expecting and are so glad that it happened. We had people who were able to take the workshops because they were offered on Saturdays (for those who work) and in a two day session (to minimize scheduling conflicts) and those who have heard about the great opportunities being offered in Clearwater County.
