Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program visitors to the art center will gain knowledge of the culturally important places that were photographed for the White Earth Window Exhibit. The Nemeth Art Center will gauge reactions to the White Earth Window exhibit by providing a survey for visitors to take. The survey will ask guests to share their experience with the exhibit, list where they live, if they have been to the NAC before and if they were previously aware of the Wayne Gunmundson and Anton Treuer's work and if they gained knowledge from viewing the White Earth Window Exhibit.

Measurable Outcome(s)

A paper survey was used to track reactions to the White Earth Window exhibit, along with origins of the guests, if they have been to the NAC before and if they were previously aware of the artists' work. According to the completed surveys that were submitted, the response to the White Earth Window Exhibit was overwhelmingly positive, with a majority of the survey'd guests from all over the area and beyond visiting the Nemeth Art Center for the first time.
