Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
To share my craft and an experience of performance. The event photographed and posted on my blog, website and other special interest social media sites. At each installation I will have a guest book so people can leave comments about the exhibit and also get a count of how many attended.
Measurable Outcome(s)
I was able to share my craft with a thousand Minnesotans. At each gallery the curator kept track of the people that came to the dinners and visited the exhibit.
