We will produce a museum quality art exhibition, meeting the standards of past Public Functionary presentations, while highlighted the art work by Charles Philippe Jean Pierre. We hope to have over 200 people attend the art opening with over 500 people interacting with the exhibition over the course of its 4 weeks run. We track the attendance of new and established audiences, press coverage, art sales, new and repeat collectors, and community feedback throughout the exhibition and programs.

100 people attended the opening reception on November 19.. During the opening reception Jean Pierre engaged the audience in an interactive performance piece called “Love Notes”. 90 people were in attendance for Disrobing Masculinity: An Artist Talk, which took place on November 20. 500 people engaged with The Feminist during the duration of the exhibition. 1 of the artists works was sold.
