Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Give up to 120 community residents technical skills and experience in the arts that will enable them to create works of beauty. With these community artists, create public art that builds a visual and literary pathway that connects the Phillips neighborhood, including visual place markers such as banner and mosaic sculptures, a photographic exhibit and a literary journal of work by Phillips residents.We will take attendance at all project activities to measure levels of participation. Arts pollinators (participants who are committed to a deep involvement with the project) will take a pre and post survey of knowledge and ability in specific artistic skills, and survey the community to determine the effect of the project on the neighborhood.

Measurable Outcome(s)

143 people gained technical skills and experience through in-depth training and workshops, an estimated 125 participated in festivals, and many more benefited from seeing art in the neighborhood; 12 art installations were made, a show of 54 youth photographs were exhibited at the Global Market, and a literary journal with a run of 7600 was distributed throughout the neighborhood.
