The proposed outcomes for the 2017 Lu Jingren Residency are to attract 100 or more participants (cumulative) to his workshop at the Minnesota Center for Book Arts and his lecture at the Open Book Center. This will include at least 20 participants under the age of 30 and at least 20 participants from the target group of our diversity outreach efforts (i.e. the local Chinese community). Audience surveys should also reveal that at least 65% of participants had their awareness of and interest in the fine craft of hand papermaking raised through their program participation. Evaluation plans include a basic participant count and simple participant survey. The survey will include basic demographic information (of participants), as well as questions assessing the quality of their experience (i.e. whether or not their awareness of and interest in hand papermaking was raised) and a request for feedback to improve the program in the future.
The OMWP's Lu Jingren Residency program met its goals by attracting nearly 100 (98) cumulative participants to its workshop and lecture, by involving 22 participants under the age of 30, and learning that 100% of surveyed participants had their awareness of and interest in hand papermaking raised. The program fell short of its goal of attracting 20 participants from local Chinese community (13).
