Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

One of the goals of my project is exposure of my work to a larger audience. I also want people to see my work in other mediums and how that affects what I do. I'm hoping that people familiar with my work will see how my work has evolved over the years. Another outcome of this project is that I have to make a considerable amount of art work. Having to do so much art has really made me much more conscientious of how to best concentrate on doing art. Since I am also using a few pieces I did previously but am not satisfied with, I am learning to see my work more critically and am working on those pieces to bring them to where I think they should be. This is definitely a growing experience for me! As far as exposing my work to a larger audience, given that Zeitgist is a cafe and will be busy in the summer, I know that my work will be exposed to a larger audience. Completing the necessary works for this show is another measurable outcome.

Measurable Outcome(s)

I don't know how many people will see my work but I think the numbers I gave in my application are a good estimate. Since the work is at Zeitgist Cafe and will be up until August and they serve meals there daily.
