Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Residents learn new arts skills and techniques; residents gain awareness and appreciation for artistic disciplines and mediums; artists build their capacity through professional development. Interviews/Conversations with participants

Measurable Outcome(s)

Through informal observation, a post-project survey, and discussion with participants and artists, youth in grades 2-5 at Mississippi Creative Arts Magnet, Saint Paul Music Academy, Saint Paul School of Northern Lights, and Banaadir Elementary self-selected classes in the visual arts taught by 3 artists virtually with each participant receiving an art kit for the project(s). As a result youth increased their knowledge and skill in an art form(s) while ArtStart rekindled our relationship with these schools so that as of 9/21 we have in-person and/or virtual residencies scheduled at each school.
