Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Success will be measured by having at least 120 adults age 55+ participate in one of the offered classes. 65% will indicate that it provided a positive experience by either allowing them to express their creativity and/or make a social connection with others in the class as indicated on participant surveys. Participants and instructors will complete an evaluation form at the end of the classes which will document overall satisfaction with the class, things they liked about the class instruction and format, suggestions for future improvement and class ideas. Participants at Mainstreet Village and Havenwood will also be given the opportunity to attend a grant evaluation party and art experience to follow up on their success and celebrate their art activities.

Measurable Outcome(s)

58 participants were able to attend their choice of activities provided by nine different artists/organizations. 82% will indicate that it provided a positive experience by either allowing them to express their creativity and/or make a social connection with others in the class as indicated on participant surveys.
