ACHF Arts Access
Quantitative: We will have between 8 and 12 teen Young Artists Council members participating in this project along with 4 lead artists. East Franklin Avenue is heavily used by vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians, therefore, this collective public art project of painted utility boxes will be seen by thousands of passers-by. Qualitative: In addition to working on artistic and life skills (communication, collaboration, decision making, etc), teens will have the opportunity to be community activists by expressing themselves concerning relevant environmental issues. We will evaluate the project by asking each Young Artists Council member, verbally and through a written questionnaire, about their experiences with collaboration, communication, creative involvement, community engagement and their desire to participate in future projects. We will also survey the lead artists about their experiences on the project, each teen's personal and artistic development and have them overview pros and cons overall.
We successfully completed the originally proposed project of 8 utility box murals that wind through a busy south Minneapolis neighborhood. Post-project questionnaires collected from participants, neighborhood association members, and partner org representative reflect that the utility box murals are positive additions to the community and meet environmental and artistic education goals.
