Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The project will reach 300 students in depth through the residency work by 3 artists and one performance troupe. An additional 700 parents and school students will view work and the performance by Teatro del Pueblo. We expect 75% of participants will have new experiences with these art forms for the first time and will gain arts learning and their ability to express themselves creatively will be greatly enhanced. This residency work will be evaluated with evaluations from artists, teachers, and participants. Success is based on 1) effective program planning between East Side Arts Council, artists, and schools; 2) implementation of project goals at each school; 3) the results of the school, teacher, and artist evaluations.

Measurable Outcome(s)

2,000 students from 4 school partnerships engaged in puppetry, theater performance, bookmaking, and poetry writing.
