Our overall goal is to provide art by two Damiano Center diners in the Community Kitchen. Specific outcomes are: 1) Exhibit a print of "The Old People" by Joe Geshick in the Community Kitchen.2) Exhibit the original photography artwork donated by Quinn Holte in the Community Kitchen.3) Host an unveiling event for "The Old People." We will consider this project a success if we complete the following:1) Midwest Art Conservation Center (MACC) will clean and restore "The Old People" by Joe Geshick.2) MACC will create a digital version of "The Old People."3) Damiano will have two prints made by a local printer.4) Frame Corner will mat and frame seven large photos by Quinn Holte.5) Damiano will exhibit "The Old People" print and the seven photos in the Community Kitchen.6) Damiano will host an unveiling event for "The Old People" that includes information on Joe Geshick's life and the history of the painting at Damiano.7) A print of "The Old People" will be presented to the Bois Forte Band.

We have fully expended the grant on the items we identified in the budget, including cleaning and restoration of "The Old People" by the Midwest Art Conservation Center, creation of a digital version of the painting, and matting and framing the Holte photos. We were not ready with a plan for the unveiling event to apply for the Anishinabe Fund grant last February since we were unsure of the completion timeline of the restoration work on the Geshick. There is more information about this below. The items that are not completed hinge on actually having that event.
