Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The "Built to Stilt" program will provide 40 students, ages 5 - 12, with the opportunity to work with two local artists on stilt building, costume making, and stilt performance, culminating in two youth showcases at a neighborhood festival and the State Fair. After the culmination of the program, 95% of participants will report that they were able to learn new skills, express themselves, and gain new interest in the traditional art forms of stilting, costume design, and/or artistic performance. A pre and post written evaluation will be administered by Urban to track each participant's mastery of skills, artistic knowledge, and leadership growth throughout the project. The documented performances will capture participant's perceived self-accomplishment, project success, and leadership change and parent and community feedback will also be gathered at community events.

Measurable Outcome(s)

90% of participants reported an increased confidence in personal, creative, and community expression through exposure of a variety of art forms otherwise not available to them. 94% of participants reported that after this project, they were more likely to continue to explore different art forms using upcycled materials.
