Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Supporting artists in creating, producing and presenting high-quality arts activities: The change we expect for this planning project is that we, and the artists, will have the motivation to move towards a creating a high-quality public art project, and we will have developed a relationship with an artist who can help ups create the project. We will have been successful when we have a completed proposal from an artist that will work well in the city of Madison and outlines a project with designs and budgets. We will then be able to write a project grant and move forward with finding partners and fundraising. On completion of the project, an exit interview will get feedback on the project and process and provide it in the final report.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We have a completed proposal from an artist that will work well in the city of Madison and outlines a project with designs and budgets. We were able to write a project grant and moved forward with finding partners and fundraising. All three artists were happy with the project. Karl Unnasch is willing to hold his project for a year or so if Madison would like to do it in the future. Asia was willing to sell us her artwork if we are able to raise the funds.
