Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, children, youth and teens will experience learning through the performing arts and will be able to express themselves creatively through arts activities. Evaluation will occur through follow-up meetings with all involved in the planning and implementation of activities (theater director, art instructors, etc.). We will also track audience members, cast and crew participation and registrations for the arts

Measurable Outcome(s)

The 2019 FCLAA Summer Arts Program exceeded our expectations with an outstanding Children's Theater Performance of Mary Poppins. Over 30 youth ranging in ages 6-17 participated to full house audiences. We were also able to expose children to new arts experiences through classes in creative arts. A pottery gallery exhibit inspired children and adults to take a class offered by the artist to wrap up a successful Summer Arts season for the Fosston community.
