Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

More than 25,000 people of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities expand their creative thinking, artistry, and care for the environment by making art using recycled materials. Surveys and participant demographic data indicate 1) reach of numerical goal 2) 50% participants low-income and 45% not white/Euro, and 3) majority created art using recycled materials. 2: 5,000 students and 120 teachers (in artist residencies and summer camps), taught by 30 artists, increase skills/understanding of art, environment, and culture. Reflective protocols, student demos, and pre/post questionnaires determine whether most students completed artworks related to environment and culture, and reflected and exhibited their art.

Measurable Outcome(s)

More than 22,000 people of all ages, ethnicities, and abilities expanded creative thinking, artistry, and care for the environment making art. We tallied the number of people new to ArtScraps; we asked teachers to report on school residency demographics; we recorded the cultural/economic diversity of workshops and summer camps; and, observed and estimated the demographics of festivals. 2: 4,000 students and 96 teachers (in artist residencies and summer camps), taught by 30 artists, increased skills/understanding of art, ecology and culture. Artists, educators, and a professional evaluator reported on 32 school residencies this year through surveys and informal observations. This figure includes survey data from our summer teen camp and school-age winter, spring and summer camps.
