A Workshop for Region 7W Arts Organizations


Art Program Evaluation and Reporting –Creative Evaluation Strategies  

Has your organization considered photography, poetry, video or blogging as a tool for collecting program evaluation data?
This seminar examines standard ways in which art organizations report on outcomes. In doing so, participants will assess the effectiveness of their current evaluation strategies and the content of annual reports. The focus of this seminar will then lead to alternative, creative ways for collecting the impact of your art program.
Saturday, March 24, 2012 10:00am till 5:00pm
Camp Ripley Education Center
15000 Highway 115 Little Falls, MN 56345-4173

Throughout this one-day seminar, participants will explore qualitative methods that could be used to supplement and enhance quantitative findings. Also covered will be an overview of concepts and strategies towards developing and managing an evaluation plan.
