Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

16 individuals from MSS will participate in this project with the Textile Center. We aim to increase 80% individuals' abilities to express themselves creatively through textile art. Surveys will be given to students, teachers, support staff, and organizational partners once the project is completed. We will also collect post program feedback.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Over the course of the month long show, over 90 people saw the artwork created by the fifteen participants who engaged in this partnership with the Textile Center. Shibori fabric dyeing and visiting the Textile Center were new experiences for 100% of the participants (and staff) who were a part of this project.
