Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Recognize and address real environmental issues facing our rivers and fresh water supplies. Provide education of waist management using the visual arts to teach an endless audience and make a positive, environmental difference for our state's future. I will keep a picture diary of the daily transformation of the run down building into its new restoration, and put together a video presentation to be presented at the "Meet the artist" event. I also will post the video on my Facebook page.

Measurable Outcome(s)

All my goals were met. Thousands of people have been changed by my mural in a positive manner, which will help save the Zumbro River and its community for many generations to come.
