Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

This SEMAC grant will provide access to participation in the arts for more Minnesotans. The exhibition will create summer contemporary art programming at RCTC for faculty and staff, and classroom learning for students. I will measure the success of this outcome by collecting attendance figures at the Capstone event as well as the length of the exhibition. I will offer a workshop for drawing students and have an onsite survey available to rate their experience.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Four Square was a successful exhibition that provided summer arts programming at RCTC; the exhibition brought visitors from Minneapolis and other areas of greater MN to activate the space.
