Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Since we are limited the classes to 25 for each class and run as many as we can. Success will also be measured by the number of participants are drawn to the class experiences, feedback on post-event evaluation forms and event polls, and the "liveliness" of the sidewalks around town. The Maple Grove Arts Center methods of evaluating outcomes of the Chalk Fest will be by how many students we can recruit for the classes/forums and what categories they sign up to participate. Another outcome would be to know is what is the ability of amateur artists. We will hand out evaluations forms to beginners, children, adults and experienced artists that will be able to create in the education section of the Chalk Fest. Also, we will do surveys to participants and students.

Measurable Outcome(s)

There were 50 students in two sessions and nearly 80 attendees of all ages who got a great introduction to chalking during the larger session. A written feedback survey was not used but verbal feedback was very positive. There were many thanks to the teacher for offering an experience that was good for entire families. .
