Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

My studio practice will break into the realm of large-scale public sculpture. The public will create personal work in a stained glass workshop. The impact and success of the projects will be assessed and recorded by a public questionnaire made available at the front desk of the Rochester Art Center. Curators and Arts Administrators will be asked to weigh in on the finished work’s impact as well. 2: My studio practice will break into the realm of large-scale public sculpture.

Measurable Outcome(s)

In one year's time, thousands will view the sculpture. Hundreds will view the sculpture via digital media and quite possibly print media. Fourteen workshop attendees made work at the Artist's studio.
