90% of the Vail Place members directly participating in the Partners in Arts Participation Program will indicate that they have developed insights that aid in their recovery and experience improved quality of life as a result of their participation in the program. Project evaluation will include data gathered through workshops, performances, and key program indicators. Evaluation activities will include post-project surveys/interviews with program participants, audience feedback, interviews with program staff and teaching artists, and additional tracking of project presentations and financial support.
The most significant outcomes were the impacts on the participants. As mentioned above, 90% of participants indicated that this experience - specifically the theater/storytelling process of developing and performing their personal stories - aided their mental health recovery, improved their quality of life, and also opened up new avenues of creative expression.
