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 ; Interviews/Conversations with board/staff/leaders ; Community dialogue (group conversations with a large group) ; Observation ; Surveying (paper or online)

Measurable Outcome(s)

We checked in daily with students and also sent them a survey to learn how felt about their experience - we asked them for suggestions and feedback. The majority of the students had only positive things to say about how their musical knowledge and collaborative skills improved while they also made important connections as they shared their joy and also trauma and put it into music.
