Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Real or perceived barriers to arts learning and participation are identified and addressed.We will judge this project by three separate exit interviews. A 50% positive response will tell us we have achieved our goal.
Measurable Outcome(s)
We had hoped to attract 100 audience members and were pleasantly surprised to be setting up seating for more than 200 people. The students who worked on the mosaic with artist Becky Mitchell were able to learn about being a real artist.
