Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

To employ the services of local vendors (Lizzard's, Paper Hog, etc.) to print, matte and frame 21 photographs and 23 related panels of verse. I would also respectfully ask to receive some small stipend for my own time and commitment that this endeavor has required/will continue to require. Measurable outcomes would be the successful completion of these requests, and confirmation of adherence to the attached budget. My evaluation plan is to collate receipts for costs associated with my goal to successfully mount the exhibition outlined above. Methods to measure outcomes will include a completed final report to Arrowhead Regional Arts Council, as well as documenting the Duluth Art Institute's press release and bulletin announcements, how our exhibition will be received, documenting media coverage that includes a commitment to a Minnesota Reads" segment on KUMD, and other requested interviews, and coverage of related events through September 1."

Measurable Outcome(s)

My goal was to employ local vendors to mount an exhibition at the Duluth Art Institute from June 16, 2016- September 2, 2016. This was successfully accomplished: Lizzard's Gallery mounted 21 panels of poetry- printed by Paper Hog- to foamcore panels, and provided 21 custom cut mattes. Kip Praslowicz printed 21 digital inkjet digital prints of my photographs. My own participation in framing the images took more time that initially expected, yet was successfully completed.
