Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this project, youth and senior adults will share a variety of shared art experiences, giving opportunity for bridging generational gaps through shared creativity. This progeram will promote mutual understanding and respect across generations through art. Evaluation of this pilot program will occur through the following: Written evaluations from artists teaching the class; surveys filled out by all participants after each of the five classes; in-person discussion and written surveys after our public event/exhibit.
