As a result of this program, young artists will develop skills at painting a mural for the community that is high quality and well received. ? Evaluation will occur through interviews with the young artists, mentor artist and community members on their perceived value of the mural and process of creating a mural.
We received positive feedback from those at the mural unveiling party, from the local business owner in which the mural was located (as he received feedback from customers) as well as those during the Art and Win Walk. The local community got to read about it in the TRF Times.
