Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Minnesotans will engage with the artwork at the exhibition, events, and Web site. Tracking of number of visitors to the exhibition events. Feedback from participating schools. Feedback from social media.

Measurable Outcome(s)

I talked with Minnesotans at the gallery at the opening and throughout the month that the work was exhibited at and talked with Minnesotans at the Artist Panel and the school visit day. I taught an Artist Statement workshop for WARM in the gallery lobby so Minnesota artists could also visit the show then and engage with me. Additionally, there were many informal occasions, at least 30, such as art openings, workshops, etc., where I was able to tell people about the show I was working on and the funding source, where people always were thankful for the Legacy funding! Evaluation was done with a numerical head count. My web master tracked the number of unique visitors to my web site.
