Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
An exhibition is planned for the end of the grant period at a Minneapolis gallery. This is a new venue for me, which will bring new contacts/clients. Opening night of the exhibition will gauge my success. Not only will I be able to take a count of attendees, we will have a book for visitors to sign and also leave their thoughts on the art, process, etc.
Measurable Outcome(s)
This exhibit was well attended. Over 300 people viewed the exhibit and signed the guest book.
