Arts Activities Support
ACHF Arts Access
The proposed outcome for this program is to provide arts experiences for as many sick children as possible by offering a variety of multidiscipline arts classes for children and their families at 3 Children's Hospitals and Ronald McDonald House in the Twin Cities.Is it estimated that over 800 children will participate in this program. Our evaluation plan is via feedback from the child life staff and program director at the Children's Hospitals and Ronald McDonald House respectively; and artist/teacher/and volunteer exchange of experiences while working with the children. These exchanges help evaluate what projects and methods of teaching worked well and what might need to be changed when working with the population of sick children and their families.
From November, 2013—August, 2014, our arts program has provided 66 pairs of dance shoes, 139 costumes, and 160 Art Takeout classes in a box with a total of 1262 young participants; Our artist/teachers learned that although the challenges are diverse and unique based on each child’s ability, they discover new ways to adapt and to present their art form to give everyone a positive experience.
