Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Exhibit in a non-traditional space, One Roof Community Housing offices, in Duluth. The work of this non-profit relates very closely with the theme of my proposed art: home. I will be successful if the work is completed, documented, framed, displayed and seen by the public in the office complex. The number of visitors to the facility who participate by filling in thoughts about home cards and staff comments will help me evaluate the project.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The actual outcome achieved was that more Minnesotans were able to engage with my work because the work was exhibited (a part of my major goal) in the hallways of One Roof Community Housing, a local community service organization. A rough count was made during the time the work was on exhibit. Several youth answered our call for submissions with drawings of thoughts about home. All of the prose, drawings, and poems submitted were exhibited along with my beadwork.
