Armory Center for the Arts

The Armory Center for the Arts will improve the design and outcomes of its youth programs by developing a comprehensive approach to youth program evaluation. Project activities include engaging an evaluation consultant and hiring a part-time evaluation associate who, along with the project team will actively engage youth in the evaluation process to co-create evaluation protocols and techniques including a new arts-based, multisensory evaluation framework then piloting the new evaluation strategies on the museum's educational programs on a rolling basis. The project will equip museum staff with new insights to capture youth experiences in the arts and create a thriving culture of evaluation at the museum.
