Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

An outcome of this is 9-month program of high quality arts activities for WMHC residents at their facility, SooVAC and Gigi's Cafe. Another outcome of this is that participants will learn and experience new things and meet new people. We will conduct an ongoing evaluation of residents' experiences by asking them what they thought and documenting their responses after each activity. We will also survey teach artists after each art making activity to adjust as needed throughout the project.

Measurable Outcome(s)

There were many outcomes from this program. The most significant was that residents at WMHC learned and experienced new things. Another was that residents interacted with people. The majority of residents expressed enjoyment, satisfaction and confidence after art making workshops and tours. This evaluation was based on verbal and non-verbal feedback after each activity.
