ACHF Arts Education
The proposed outcomes of this project are to engage inter-generational residents of the Heritage Park Neighborhood in a one-month workshop, a summer long community photography learning project, and an end-of-summer showcase. In so doing, the program will provide 40 teens and adult residents of Heritage Park with the opportunity to work with two local photography artists. All written evaluation material (pre- and post-program) will be used to draft a formal written report on the outcomes of this project, summarizing participant growth in photography skills, artistic knowledge, and leadership throughout the project. Evaluation will be conducted by project manager Elana Dahlberg, the Urban Strategies' 4-H team, and through collaboration with resident leaders.
Post-workshops, 85% of participants gained 5 or more technical/composition skills, 95% reported increase in ability to tell a story through photography, and 91% reported stronger sense of belonging to the community. 2 were offered paid photojournalism opportunities. Residents formed Heritage Park Photography Club, and the local library organized a second series of classes with digital cameras.
