Artist Initiative
ACHF Arts Access
Minnesota artists are able to expand or further develop their artistic abilities through varied learning opportunities. Minnesota artists are able to develop business skills needed to support their professional art work. More Minnesotans are able to engage in or with the work of Minnesota artists.
With the help of a hired designer, I learned how to create a web site. I also learned how to stabilize the surface of large scale graphite drawings by applying a thin layer of wax over the drawing. Overall, both of these projected outcomes were very successful. I also completed two exhibitions, one largely serving a St Paul audience and the other in Minneapolis. 2: I used the web site as a part of the promotional materials that I assembled and sent to a wide range of galleries, art consultants and art dealers. While the overall effectiveness is still undetermined, i.e. I have not yet received any commitments from this activity regarding the sale or exhibition of my work, I do believe as a professional practice this activity is critical. Ongoing engagement and follow-up is taking place, from this perspective the activity was highly valuable as a promotional tool.
