Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Publishing a book will make my body of work stronger and give me a better chance of being accepted by galleries and considered by publishers. The outcome will be achieved if I establish more gallery exhibitions and opportunities for future publications. 2: I will give talks at regional community colleges and donate a copy of the book to art libraries within Minnesota. Brief surveys will be given out after the talks to gauge the interest of the subject matter and see how the project relates to their lives.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The outcome has been achieved because with the published book I have been able to enter more gallery exhibitions and opportunities that are specific to photo books. I am currently waiting to hear about acceptance in multiple galleries and museums. 2: I gave talks about my photographic work and the book project at Anoka Ramsey Community College, Minneapolis College of Art and Design, and at Inver Hills Community College during the fine arts festival. There was a question and answer period after each lecture and a brief survey was given out.
