Prove Gallery is seeking funds to start an on-going series of educational workshops, led by Duluth-based artists and art instructors in order to better fulfill the organization's primary mission of "fostering a greater appreciation of the contemporary arts, to bridge cultures, create and expand community, and provide cultural exchange, networking opportunities and educational outreach through regular interaction with the contemporary arts." We will begin in January 2019 by offering bi-monthly workshops that introduce members of our community to a specific art medium or process with the objectives of providing regular, accessible, and meaningful engagement with contemporary art and artists. We have developed this program in consultation with our members, who have expressed the desire for hands-on art-making experiences at Prove. In order to evaluate the program so that it consistently and effectively meets the needs of our community audience, we will create an efficient online system for registration, community feedback, and workshop proposals for future programming. We will measure our outcomes based on anticipated growing attendance at workshops, as well as the diversity of attendees and participating artists as we hope to reach new community members with each successive workshop. The board will meet with participating artists and instructors beforehand to ensure quality.
