Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

I photographed 125 Winona, Minnesota residents and invited them and guests to the exhibition opening reception. Using local people with increase local participation. My goal is to create the first exhibition at Outpost, a new non-profit space in Winona. Questionnaire filled out by participating models. Facebook feedback from models, their friends and exhibition attendees. I will quantify website and Facebook analytics, number of page hits, likes, and traffic. Number of attendees at capstone event.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Attendance was strong, but I felt it would have been higher if the exhibition space was open more than two days a week.
