Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

To promote arts and education during the summer. To instill an ongoing appreciation for arts in all the various forms. To support registrations of those who otherwise not be able to attend through scholarships/support. We will be conducting an online survey of each participant and their parents the end of the course to gather information about the course, its impact and what they learned or took away from the art course(s) they enrolled in. There will also be the opportunity for visitors to talk with the College of Kids and Teens Director at each showing to provide feedback.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Overwhelmingly positive!! Parents want to take many of the art courses offered and love hearing about all the fun their children had. Many said their children learned a lot of new things with the small class size. They were impressed with the attention each student got from the Instructor and Assistant. One of the questions asked if people were aware of the scholarships - and a little over 50% were not. But looking at how people heard about the program (most from friends or website) it is hard to figure out how to better promote the scholarships. The website has an area specifically for scholarships. I am thinking if we apply for the fall round and then if we are awarded any monies we would have more time to incorporate the information into printed materials.
