Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

I will publicly show and discuss Ordinal in universities, colleges, theaters and art centers in the Cities, Northfield, and/or elsewhere in Minnesota. Outreach to Minnesota art, film, and environmental science and technology communities will attract a wide variety of attendees to public screenings with live discussion and a recorded guest list.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Keagy created a complex hybrid-genre film that she publicly exhibited in Northfield and Minneapolis to large audiences of local artists and educators. The Walker Art Center publicized the panel event and the Mediatheque was completely full. Flaten Art Museum kept a guest list of every day during the two months that the exhibit was up, and thus the number of visitors was tallied for the show as well as the screening in the Viking Theater. Flaten made photocopies of the guest list with comments from patrons, and they shared the copy with Keagy so that she was able to see the positive and inspiring commentary.
