Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Minnesota artists are able to expand or further develop their artistic abilities through varied learning opportunities. More Minnesotans are able to engage in or with the work of Minnesota artists.
Measurable Outcome(s)
I developed and honed my digital skills, working with a Photoshop professional and the leading printer in the region. I sold a half dozen pictures during the exhibition, definitely a success. 2: LOCAL COLOR, a collection of 112 pictures of the neighborhood, was displayed in the very spot the photographs were made. Sales and feedback were positive.
