Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Project goal: The primary purpose and goal for the event is to establish myself in the eyes of the public as a credible artist. As an artist, I attempt to formulate a perfect avenue to convey through conversation and art examples my passion for art. The art and the artist are intertwined as one! Hosting an art show is a special way to achieve that goal. I believe if given the financial resources I will be successful having a remarkable experience. Sales will be evaluated after the event and show me which pieces of art were most popular. This will help me when creating more images. I will learn what people find appealing and dismiss those subjects they do not. The number of sales against the number in attendance will give me indication of success or failure. After the show has been completed, success will be measured as to whether I receive any publishing opportunities or commission work. Finally, what is valuable to me is making new friends and deepening relationships with people I already know.
