Artist Access Grant

A full week to engage in a deep dive of rapid 3D ideation. A Youtube video documenting the deep dive. This will be published on my new Youtube channel along with complimentary posts on Instagram and Facebook. I've set a goal to grow my audience by %5. A solid vernacular and aesthetic to guide the path forward with my All American Relics. Outcomes of the deep dive will then be refined into finished works during the summer. I will showcase the finished work in my booth at the ACC show in St. Paul this October (see letters of confirmation). Additionally throughout the summer I will be participating in art festivals across Minnesota where I will share and sell my work as it progresses. Currently I've entered 6 shows for this summer/fall season (For a list of entered shows see attached letters of confirmation. Base on past experience I expect to be accepted at most of these shows.) Lastly it is my goal to get my work represented in at least two galleries. The success of this project will not be determined by the answers I find to my questions. I rather doubt I will come up with very many. I will more than likely have more questions. Rather the success will come from sharing finished works of art with my audience and engaging in dialog with them. If the work is interesting to them, the conversations will bear fruit. That fruit will feed further thought and work. In other words success will be made evident by the momentum created by my audiences enthusiasm for the work. I will also be recording sales and that will be utilized to measure success as well.
