Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Through immersive experimentation and work in the studio, I will deepen my artistic exploration. The outcome will be evaluated through the exhibition and public reception of the work. 2: The public exhibition and accompanying dialogue will engage with and connect to the community at-large. Attendance and participation will provide a useful evaluation of the level of public engagement.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The outcome of this project was the intensive time Shana Kaplow was able to work in the studio developing new bodies of work as well as a creating her most expansive public exhibition to date. 2: Shana Kaplow's exhibition at Minneapolis Institute of Arts was extremely well attended, increasing the number of Minnesotans that are able to engage in or with the work of Minnesota artists.
