Arts Activities Support
ACHF Arts Access
Project outcomes are to engage up to 40 Partnership Resources clients in clay classes at Northern Clay Center while interacting with their instructors, staff, and community members and creating art work(s) using clay as the medium, thus building artistic and social skills, accessing therapeutic benefits of clay work, and having an opportunity to share, exhibit, and/or sell their works. Developing artistic styles and giving peer-to peer-advice or feedback on works created is also a goal of the project, along with participants helping plan an open house at the close of the project and talking about their work or what the project meant to them. The project will be evaluated by the number of participants successfully participating in it, the number of art works created, interest in participating in the closing event and, for those who wish to sell pieces, how many were sold. The number of attendees at the closing event and their solicited feedback about the project will also assist in its evaluation.
The most significant outcome from this project, which was also unique, particularly when comparing to a previous Northern Clay Center related grant that Partnership Resources, Inc. received in 2013, was that having clay classes in the community (at Northern Clay Center) took the experience to another level for many of Partnership Resources, Inc.'s service recipients participating in classes at Northern Clay Center. Partnership Resources, Inc. had 40 clients participating in classes.
