Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Interface will be an exhibition of fashion, creativity, and culture that is determined and expressed by artists of color (specifically Hmong, Latino, and Black)ůa segment of the community that is often unseenůworking together to create a cohesive arts exhibition. The exhibition's outcome will be to provide visibility and representation primarily to POC makers in the local fashion community, and will create a space that celebrates and welcomes the talent of artists that have diverse experiences. By creating this space, we will also hold a public panel event wherein we will invite a large group of attendees to hear of POC maker's experiences in the fashion community, and we will discuss the need and possible solutions for inclusivity within the local fashion community. We will use qualitative and quantitative measures to evaluate the project. Our quantitative indicators include number of people attended (and diversity of audience), suggested donations collected during the opening reception (attendee donations will be optional and voluntary, and these donations will further cover costs of this project), number of surveys collected, number of views and likes on social media, and number of people that sign up to stay in contact with us through our email newsletter list. Qualitative data will be collected through observation of engagement during artist talk, level of satisfaction as indicated through surveys, and talking to audience members during the event.
