Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Approximately 8,000 low income, underserved children and youth will participate in the arts due to ESAC’s free programming. Indicators include accessible art experiences for youth in schools, recreation centers and community projects. ESAC is trained in data collection and analysis. Program reviews will be ongoing and include participants, artists and partners. 2: Approximately 4,000 adults and families from diverse cultures participate in the arts due to ESAC’s free, accessible programming. Attendance and participation at free performances that will take place at Phalen Lake, poetry readings, festival participation and artist exhibits at our gallery, reaching people of all ages. Every program will be evaluated.

Measurable Outcome(s)

10,215 low income, underserved children and youth participated in the arts due to ESAC's free programming. ESAC uses the Youth Program Quality Assessment (YPQA) tool to evaluate out of school time youth programming. We also use written evaluations by artists and teachers as well as reflective conversations with youth to assess in-school arts residencies. 2: 6,200 adults and families from diverse cultures participated in the arts due to ESAC's free, accessible programming. For adult and family programming, ESAC uses written evaluation forms, reflective conversations, and staff site visits to assess programming. All evaluations are used in a continuous program improvement cycle.
