Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

90% of women participants will express their satisfaction with the arts experience and 75% will fully complete their projects. 90% of the participants will have learned something entirely new (rigid heddle weaving). SAYFSM will use attendance data and participant and artist feedback to evaluate the project and determine the project's successes and its areas for improvement. Feedback will be received throughout the duration of the project and again at its conclusion.

Measurable Outcome(s)

10 women signed up for the class. Twelve women in all participated in the class. Two women left the class for travel and work, two other women joined the class and received their looms. Several women completed multiple projects. All women expressed satisfaction with the arts experience. As we can tell, through their continued participation in the UOR program, many continue to enjoy weaving.
