Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

1) MacRostie Art Center will form on-going partnerships with two assisted living communities in the Itasca County area. 2) Seniors in assisted living communities will participate in art exhibitions and arts learning experiences. 1) Success will be measured by the number of assisted living communities that have established plans for future exhibition and arts learning experiences with MacRostie Art Center by the end of the project period. 2) Surveys will evaluate seniors' engagement in the exhibitions, and attendance will be taken during each arts learning session. Success will be measured by both total numbers and the number of participants who engage on an on-going basis.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Seniors in the Oak Hill Assisted Living Community completed five months of weekly art classes and shared their work in a public exhibition during the First Friday Art Walk.
