Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Participant surveys show that at least 85% developed new arts skills and 75% felt happier and more connected to community and the space. Additionally, 75% or more of surveyed visitors to the space (after the mosaic is installed) feel the mosaic enlivens the space and/or makes it feel welcoming. We will create the "InterConexiones" mosaic at CLUES' new Latino community center based on community input (50-100 people) and through community engagement (6 sessions) in the arts process. Two Latina contract artists will lead the effort with support from our intern’s Latino Arts Liaison. We will develop surveys for participants to assess their feelings of happiness, social connections, and feelings of inclusion. Additionally, ongoing verbal dialogue with participants will be documented to add more nuanced feedback. We will also evaluate participant count, participant surveys and artist surveys.

Measurable Outcome(s)

10 Frogtown residents were trained in audio production and interviewing, completing a total of 27 different radio pieces spotlighting 27 different Frogtown area businesses. five other Frogtown artists were involved from logo creation to performing music and spoken word at the listening party to photographing the party. About 25 adults attended the listening party and ten youth under the age of 21.
