Abstract:

Evaluation of three arts activities (dance for people experiencing Parkinson’s, art for people with mild to moderate memory loss and art for parents experiencing different challenges) was undertaken. The overall task was to provide insights into whether the intended outcomes of the arts activities were achieved. A participatory approach to the evaluation was adopted and the evaluation took place over four years. This report provides detail of each of the activities, what was evaluated, how relevant information was gained from participants and the findings. The findings not only indicated that the activities were successful, they also provided insights into the secrets of success for others who may wish to establish similar projects in the future.
