Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Unvending machines will be installed in both gallery and non-gallery locations, and reach a wide audience of viewers that way. Artist will request feedback on the machines from host locations about how viewers are reacting to the work, as well as keeping track of artwork sales. 2: Throughout the project period, hundreds of little artworks will be produced for Unvending customers to buy and enjoy. This outcome can be tracked in the form of sales logs and inventories. It will also be evaluated based on feedback the artist receives from Unvending customers.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Unvending machines were installed in three different locations, during the project period. 2: During the project period, approximately 450 pieces of artwork were sold from Unvending Machines.
