Arts Organization Development and Equipment
ACHF Arts Education
This is the first step in our goal of offering quality art instruction and undoubtedly the easiest to accomplish. We are in the early stages of developing class offerings, identifying areas of interest and available teachers. We need to get the spaces equipped before we can begin offering classes, though, so that is the goal of this project.Since this grant is exclusively for the purchase of classroom furnishings, evaluation of this project will be difficult to do until we actually hold classes in the new facility. Although we anticipate making the purchases very soon after receiving funding, we have extended the completion date to early next year so we will have a chance to actually use the furnished facility and get feedback from students. We will solicit comments from participants on many aspects of the class offerings - how they heard about it, how well the class went, how knowledgeable the teacher was, did the instruction increase their understanding of the art form, etc., and we will include a question specifically addressing the facility.
Having well-equipped classroom spaces was our goal and we succeeded in that. We are aware that the number of people reached to date is relatively low, but this equipment will last us for many years and will be used repeatedly.
