Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Gain financial funding, order supplies, order rack cards, paint and hang show. Fill out final report to Arrowhead Regional Arts Council. Visit the show site daily, engage with customers and survey the wait staff, who are an excellent source of what folks say. I will also leave a comments logbook along with rack cards to promote myself and my art.

Measurable Outcome(s)

First, write and submit grant. Grant was awarded. Supplies to start and finish the show were ordered and delivered. Images were created and the initial four pieces were installed. Rackcards were designed and printed and left at venue to give details regarding show. More pieces were completed and installed. The show is a success, and even several pieces were purchased.
