Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

To make a new collection of beaded mandalas focusing on the idea of truth that will be exhibited at the fall St Paul Art Crawl. Measured results will be met by meeting the timeline discussed in the artist plan for the creation of this new body of work and then at the end by exhibiting the collection at the St Paul Art Crawl.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Brenda Brousseau created a new beadwork mandala series entitled Garden of Truth, which she exhibited during the Saint Paul Fall Art Crawl. My outcome was to show at the Saint Paul Fall Art Crawl, which was early in the grant period. Beadwork is time consuming. To be able to do this I needed to stick to the timeline I proposed. By sticking to it I was able to create a new body of work and displays for them that were sturdy enough for outdoors.
