Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Expanding my portfolio, creating an exhibition, receptions and presentations that engage potential clients, the general public, and students. My project is successful when the wall pieces are completed, installed and documented, and I am ready to apply for opportune calls of entry, and when the exhibition, receptions and presentations had significant attendance.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Maren Kloppmann’s grant activities expanded visibility of her artwork, solicited new commissions and exhibition invitations, and inspired current students of ceramic art.
