Legacy Arts and Cultural Heritage

To engage artists and community members in creating original artwork and developing their skill set, and broaden public knowledge of plein air traditions and techniques through demonstrations and the exhibition. We will foster peer-to-peer learning opportunities and encourage participants to join the Gallery drawing groups. The Kaddatz records attendance for all events and for daily visitors to the gallery. Attendance records are used to help plan future programming. Attendance to Kaddatz plein air drawing group and other drawing groups will increase. With these events over the summer we hope to increase awareness of other opportunities at the Kaddatz and engage more people in our regular programming. Workshop participants will be asked to complete a short survey asking about their learning experience. Our drawing group will collect more indirect feedback through group conversations.
Attendance for the workshops was average. Attendance was low for our first demonstration at Summerfest, but very high for our downtown demonstration and at Art in the Park. We had low response for our online workshop survey, but those who did reply had very positive experiences and said they would continue to use the plain air techniques they learned in their artistic practice. The feedback from the plein air drawing group was mixed. There were a few dates that were cancelled due to weather, and some reported that they would have like to have more group sessions, and others reported that they were too busy to attend.
