Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
A tricycle travelling gallery will be built and toured in the twin cities. Different communities will be able to experience interactive art in a public setting.
Measurable Outcome(s)
More people in different metro areas interacted with the art scene. For the public participatory works I was present and interacted with the public. Through the reception and the artist talk for the 801 show, I also was able to interact directly with the public.
