Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, the people of TRF will benefit from a long term art installment that showcases the value of art in relation to mental health positivity. Evaluation will occur in the form a mural ribbon cutting event in which we will count community members that attend and we will conduct a questionnaire during the event asking people about the value of art in relation to mental health. We will also ask volunteers (youth and adult) assisting as well as committee members and support organizations to complete the questionaire.
