Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The outcome that we hope to achieve in the Internship program is to host and foster 6 young adult artists in the course of two six-month internship cycles. The interns will demonstrate measurable growth in their design and printing skills, show increased maturity and an ability to share their knowledge within a cooperative environment. Hamilton Ink Spot will evaluate the Internship program through a preliminary vocabulary and skills quiz, written proposals, a one-one-one review at midterm and an exit interview. The interns will also be evaluated thru weekly mentoring sessions and artistic critiques, a comment/guest book (used during their group exhibition) and thru self-reflection in the form of personal response essays.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The internship program provided professional artistic instruction and shared workspace to 6 artists aged 18-26 and culminated in a public exhibition of their work.
