ACHF Arts Education
Participants will gain confidence in their ability to interpret and understand art in an art museum setting. Outcomes will be evaluated through periodic surveying of participants following engagements; written reflections of museum educators; bi-annual written and in-person interviews with museum educators; user analytics generated by mobile platform.
Participants were able to learn about and experience art in their homes or other non-museum settings. The outcome was evaluated through the number of people who picked up art kits and/or participated in events, such as Many Waters Family Day.
