The quality and types of arts education and learning opportunities in our region, and the organizations or venues that offer them increases. They will evaluate their Elder’s Celebration Program by video/audio recordings; surveys from elders, students, artists, community, and staff; data collected; and staff and artist discussions. Staff will create the surveys, distribute them, and tabulate the results.
