Developing High Impact Arts Programs for Teens

Recently, evaluators articulated the particularly strong characteristics evident in Surdna-funded arts programs. The key findings can be read in this monograph.

In an effort to better understand the value and impact of its Arts Program, the Surdna Foundation undertook a formal program evaluation in Spring 2000. The study, conducted by Emc.Arts, a prominent full-service national arts consulting firm, is part of a larger foundation-wide effort to evaluate grant-making activities more systematically.
