Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

I will create a new, large-scale artwork based on the city of Minneapolis for the community to enjoy. The completed installation will be available for viewing and engagement by Minnesota residents and visitors in downtown Minneapolis. 2: I will advance my artistic practice with new experience and an expanded portfolio. A newly completed project will assist me in the pursuit of future artistic opportunities by showing my experience and capabilities.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Peterson's Urban Mandala of Minneapolis was on public display and exposed to thousands of people. Countless people were directly engaged. This artwork was installed in a very busy public building in the heart of Minneapolis and was on view from multiple perspectives for two weeks. 2: The Urban Mandala of Minneapolis illustrates Peterson's capabilities and experience with large-scale art installations. The completion of this piece and its documentation illustrates my experience and capabilities of approaching large-scale projects with multiple elements such as research, design, execution, coordination, and installation.
