Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

My project will allow me to create work in a non-gallery setting, explore more durable materials, and introduce my work to a new audience. I will create photographic documentation of all project phases, reflecting on each stage, including the finished work. When the work is completed, I will ask for feedback from the community (children and families) as well as arts professionals. 2: Hundreds of children and families will engage with my work, providing a contemporary art experience in a non-urban, non-gallery setting. Audience engagement will be measured through: 1) Quantitative data, including attendance figures for both children and adults. 2) Qualitative data, including statements by children and adults commenting on their experience with the work.

Measurable Outcome(s)

This project has allowed me to create my first permanent large-scale indoor installation while enabling me to reach a broader audience. 2: A wide number of children and adults are able to engage with my work in a non-urban, non-gallery setting, providing them with an important contemporary art experience.
