Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Kairos and Epic will help adults with physical and cognitive disabilities overcome identified barriers that prevent them from participating in art. We will document individual art participants’ progress as we meet with Kairos to mitigate known barriers, discuss individual participants’ engagement level each day and make necessary program changes. 2: Kairos Alive will provide 33 hours of arts programming at Epic, for a community of individuals who have difficulty accessing the arts on their own. We will note when Kairos Alive's art sessions happen and Epic’s participants will be identified. Afterward, Epic staff will conduct meetings with Kairos to ensure meaningful art experiences occur.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Kairos and Epic helped adults with physical and cognitive disabilities overcome identified barriers that prevented them from participating in art.
