This project will serve approximately 200-250 persons with developmental and cognitive disabilities, four artists (Simply ArtAble staff), all of whom have a disability themselves, and will enlist the services of approximately 25-30 volunteers. The above outcomes will be evaluated through a participant count.
We have partnerships with 10 organizations which each have multiple programs. Most of the organizations rotate the groups that attend a Pizza Party event, so we do have about 75% new people attending each month to experience this rare community we have brought together. Many participants at first express a lack of creativity and are pleasantly surprised by their achievements.
