Surveys and participant evaluations will show an increase in the reach of our programs and satisfaction with participation in the project; we will develop new programs that reach underserved populations. 2: We will expand our ART@HAND program to reach more Minnesotans who are aged 55+. Northern Clay Center will have expanded its program partners; deepened relationships with long-time partners; identified opportunities for sustainable, long-term offsite classes; the experience of its teaching artists.
