Reporting on project outcomes is a persuasive means for grantees to advocate for arts education, contribute to wider knowledge, and open new avenues of opportunities by reaching out to audiences that may be interested in project design and results. As a part of the grant process, grantees are required to take deliberate steps in designing evaluation, collecting data, and analyzing data for evidence of the results intended.
Several anticipated data from this grant process:
The Idaho Commission on the Arts will be more effective in communicating the public
value of its programs; Grantees will build their own skills in effective practice; Policymakers will make supportive decisions aboout future funding allocations.These examples from two of the Commission's grant categories, Arts Powered Learning and Creative Alternative for Youth, demonstrate the range and the variety of activities, methods, and outcomes attained by the grantees in alignment with the goals of their programs. The information is taken from the final reports of the grants. This collection does not single out the best grants, but is intended to present examples that represent the qualities found in all good projects.
These pages provide information on the Arts Education Program grantees' accomplishments and serves as a means of sharing ideas and curricular materials throughout the state. For further information about the specific programs, a project contact person is listed with each description.
