Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The goal is the successful exhibition of artwork, created by me, as well as the successful design and implementation of the cd cover and event poster for the 15th "One Week Live" live music recording event at Beaner's Central in Duluth, Minnesota. Successful printing of my artwork as well as completed graphic design of the cd and poster for the event.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The successful completion of an exhibition of new artwork. Taking advantage of the unique venue I created a new series of artworks that combined abstract painting and a sculptural element. Their development will lead to further exploration in this direction and would not have happened if not for this opportunity. The opening reception took place over the album release multi-day event and included the production of marketing materials, prints of the album art I produced and the printing and the giving out for free of 75 of my printed nature photographs to guests. Additionally, large prints of the album art created and autographed by participating band members which will be auctioned off at a future date to support children's music programming.
