Art Project Grant

The Walkabout goal is to engage wider community conversations about art, highlight the creative culture of our region, and share the work our members are doing with modern design concepts. We are keeping in mind LSMQG's guiding principals which include developing and encouraging the art of modern quilting, encouraging new quilters, and offering educational opportunities.

We will count viewers who link with the QR code, provide feedback forms to businesses gathering comments and impressions observed and, complete questionnaires regarding the success of the event and their interest in replicating it.
