Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Perceived or real barriers to participation are addressed. Partnerships are developed between social service organizations and arts organizations to better serve underserved communities. Social or human service organizations use arts to help achieve their service goals.
Measurable Outcome(s)
CLIMB's multi-sensory classes provided a new artistic experience for our clients. The opportunity also gave them a greater understanding of what theatre is, and for some, the experience was their first exposure to acting. 2: CLIMB's adaptive programming allowed clients of all abilities to engage with theatre. Cost barriers were overcome through grant support, and transportation barriers were eliminated through direct presentations at our facility.
