Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Develop a new curatorial model for presenting activity-based arts practice in the gallery. Our cross-disciplinary curatorial team will evaluate the success of organizing and presenting an exhibition of Social Practice artworks in the Nash Gallery. 2: Expand understanding and appreciation of ceramic art legacy at University of Minnesota. Success will be indicated by the quality of the exhibition, reception in the media, and experience of the gallery visitors.

Measurable Outcome(s)

As planned, we developed a new curatorial model of activity-based social practice art with “thinking making living,” September 2- December 13, 2014, including 65 audience-engagement activities. Our organizing team, including curators from the University of Minnesota, Walker Art Center, and the Indianapolis Museum of Art, met with an outside of group of ten community activists and artists familiar with social practice art, for their input. 2: Due to a change in plans, we instead examined 45 women artists' engagement with popular culture through the group exhibition WonderWomen, January 20 - February 14, 2015. Extensive press coverage and audience engagement. Fashion show included the Minnesota Rollergirls and local Girl Scouts. `Thought-provoking, richly sourced and just plain fun, it's a must see exhibit at the Nash Gallery.` --Mary Abbe, Star Tribune.
