Sarah M. Brokke will finish a body of work with 4-5 large scale pieces to be completed for an exhibition at Washington Galleries in September and future proposals in greater Minnesota. Her work will be professionally documented and catalogued. Major goals: 1. Completion of a body of work. 2. Professional documentation of the series. 3. Exhibit series at Washington Studio Galleries. 4. Creation of promotional material and future exhibition proposals. The award of this grant would allow both time and materials to complete a series of work that has been in progress for the past year and a half. The goals will be met and evaluated in the following ways: The first two weeks of July will be devoted to the initial purchasing of supplies, source material and planning. July 15-August 28: Six weeks of intensive painting, working 6-8 hours per day. Concurrent promotion and marketing for September Exhibition. August 29th-31st: Documenting work and preparing for hanging. September: the work will hang alongside previously completed work at Washington Studio Galleries. While installed at Washington, documentation will be completed as well as promotional materials sent out to both local and greater Minnesota galleries with exhibition proposals. October and November: Assessment of success of series, proposals and promotional materials.
First, I did complete the original planned body of work thanks to both the funding for materials as well as the grant stipend for time. Interestingly, after completing these additional works, I found several additional avenues I plan to explore beyond the original completed series. Secondly, the exhibition and the individual works were documented while installed and catalogued individually. The series was then exhibited at Washington Studio Galleries for the month of September. Finally, I created promotional materials with the help of a graphic designer and the help of an Art Historian with knowledge in the field. Those materials will continue evolving with the series itself.
