Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We plan to provide leadership opportunities for 12 lead artists through 6 workshops serving more than 100 people in our community. We will note success not only with the completion of workshops but with stories from participants and lead artists about the value of their experience in the workshop. We plan to 1) count participants, 2) gather lead artist and participant experiences, and 3) lead artists will provide post workshop reflections.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Consistently participants share their gratitude for the experience. Artists named that being compensated for their work was validating. From participants: ?The poems by the ArtCare revolutionaries made my heart sing." ?The beautiful conversation after the show, making connections among us, gave me tremendous hope." Perhaps the delivery of hope was the most significant outcome of our work.
