NCC's ART@HAND program will grow its experiential ceramic arts programming to engage more Minnesotan's ages 55+ in arts learning. We'll produce 95 programs, reaching over 1,100 aging adults. Participants, partner staff, and teaching artists will reflect on and evaluate program activities and apply feedback. 2: ART@HAND will provide exposure to ceramic arts and will benefit more Minnesotans age 55+, including improved socialization, mobility, and cognition. Qualitative and Quantitative Measure: embedded assessment and post-program surveys. Expected Outcomes: deeper rapport, bolster teacher experience, esteem for clay arts, mental and physical gains.
NCC expanded the reach of ART@HAND programs to more Minnesotans aged 55 and greater through unique hands-on, clay arts programming. Standard quantitative measures are collected during partnerships, with Likert scales employed in evaluations to measure quality. Activities are observed throughout partnerships with artist check-in occurring naturally with staff at NCC and on site. 2: NCC increased the number of older adults served with specialized clay programs in Minnesota, addressing changing demographics of the population. Changes among participants are recorded through qualitative measures by site staff who are present each class, who witnessed an increase in perceived rapport with artists, production levels, attention span, moods, and socialization of participants.
