Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Empower and honor the lives of hospital workers. Increase public awareness of the diversity of this work force and their important value and function in our communities. The outcome will be measured by attendance at an open studio event. There will be a guest book to record attendance. The same will occur for the panel presentation. 2: Develop my online presence and invest in appropriate software. The presence of a new website.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Twenty-four hospital workers at the University of Minnesota Medical Center were represented in a series of paintings. The portraits were shown in an open studio event that reached an audience of approximately 150 people. 2: A website was created that chronicles the artist's work over the last three years. The website includes the results of her Minnesota State Arts Board project Portraits of Hospital Workers.
