The programs allowed participants exposure to the visual arts and experiences with working professional artists. The programs allowed attendees to practice skills related to visual arts that might otherwise be unavailable to them due to barriers such as financial restrictions. Of those surveyed, 94% learned something that was useful, and 90% intend to apply something they've learned. Fully 100% said they were more aware of resources and services provided by the library.
