Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

To complete and exhibit at least 2030 final pieces from the `Lifecycles` series in a public gallery. The gallery curator will hold me accountable for print quality, quantity and execution of the exhibition installation and publicity. Verbal and written audience feedback will determine the success.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Forty photographs by Linda Brooks from the LIFECYCLES series were completed and exhibited at the Sabes Jewish Community Center, exceeding the original proposal of 20-30. Awend confirmed that the print quality and quantity of both sets of images, LIFECYCLES and LIFCYCLES OBJECTS would fit well for the exhibition theme and would fully utilize more than 50' of the Shared Walls exhibition areas. Awend and the staff of the Sabes Jewish Community Center took responsibility for the exhibition installation, the publicity flyer, and communication to the membership and the broader public. Brooks sent emails to several hundred people on her mailing list. Conversations and written responses in the comment book reflected positive audience feedback.
