ACHF Arts Education
Outcomes will be measured both quantitatively with at least 15 unduplicated youth participating in the project, as well at minimum 80% of youth participants will express that they feel they have a deeper connection to the arts. Participant and audience counts will be tracked for each workshop, meeting, and final celebration. There will also be a before and after survey for participants to measure various qualitative goals.
Kulture Klub Collaborative works exclusively with youth experiencing homelessness and designs programs to meet their interests and needs. Because of this focus and 25 years of experience, we did successfully reach our intended community of participants. Our outreach efforts resulted in a diversity in our typical participant. This visual art and graffiti aspect of this project attracted youth that have not typically been involved with Kulture Klub Collaborative in the recent past. While the demographics of our participants did not change dramatically, new youth were successfully recruited. Instead of traveling to Franconia Sculpture Park’s space in Northeast Minneapolis (Franconia in the City at the Casket Arts Building), Kulture Klub Collaborative staff and other personnel decided to hold workshops in our own space at YouthLink’s Youth Opportunity Center. Because of the location change, more youth were able to access the workshops and participate. Barriers were minimized by offering food, bus tokens, and child care stipends to young parents. 25 youth experiencing homelessness participated in sculpture workshops.
