Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Adults with disabilities, via a barrier-free project, will express themselves using the medium of glass, resulting in works shared with the community. Skill, interest, and satisfaction level of participants relative to the medium and project as measured at start, midway, and end of project period. Capture of community response to works created. 2: Engage PRI clients, staff, families, Board, and community members in an inclusive arts learning project, creating a sense of unity among participants. Number of participants. Participant connection to PRI. Surveys re: project satisfaction, response, impact. Participation in culminating events. Increased organization support (type, frequency).

Measurable Outcome(s)

Adults with disabilities had barrier-free project and expressed themselves through glass, resulting in works to be shared at upcoming events. Measurement was largely anecdotal due to scheduling/timing of each site's activities. However, there was great interest in working with the new medium and the teaching artist. Unveiling events will occur over the next two weeks and will be captured. 2: PRI clients and staff participated in project. Others listed weren't able to due to timing of opportunities. Great collaboration among participants. Over 90 clients and staff participated in the project and enjoyed the experience due to the fact they worked side-by-side in a way most don't usually have the opportunity to.
