Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The primary artistic goal of this program is for Latino muralism apprentices to learn the techniques, skills, and history of mural painting. Success will happen when at least 10 apprentices finish the program, put together a small portfolio, express confidence about their skills and knowledge in mural creation, and are prepared to go out into the community to pursue mural commissions. We will develop surveys for apprentices so that we can gauge their knowledge and abilities at the beginning, middle, and end of the program. Additionally, ongoing group critiques of participant work will aid those assessments. Finally, we will ask our community partners for ongoing feedback.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Attendance participation varied throughout the program from ten to twenty with fifteen consistent attendees finishing the fall portion of the program.
