90% of participants and 98% member/partner organizations indicate greater access to therapeutic arts activities, more social engagement and feelings of inclusion with the Pizza Paint Parties. At mid-point and at the end of the program, Simply ArtAble staff will give written surveys to directors and program managers of community partner organizations to assess the event and to receive feedback. Simply ArtAble will also provide short written and verbal questionnaires for the participants, staff and volunteers at the finish of each party.
165 adults with special needs were reached with our enriching arts programming which helped encourage them as artists and brightened their lives during the pandemic. It provided a much needed social outlet during this trying time whether in studio, online or through paint parties in their own communities. 97% of participants indicated that they enjoyed the classes and benefited from the events.
