Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

A major one-person exhibit will give the artist increased viewing exposure to the public. Gallery visits, gallery opening, and artist lecture will be counted. Social Media visits, reviews, audience numbers for radio and television publicity spots (Art Hounds, Arts Public Television Features, The Playlist, Saint Paul Neighborhood Network) will be counted. 2: A large Minnesota audience will experience art viewing and lecture at a prominent Minnesota gallery. Attendance will be documented for the viewing and lecture.

Measurable Outcome(s)

I achieved a large, new audience for my work from the urban area of Saint Paul and Minneapolis and outlying areas of the Twin Cities. I received attention from twin cities art collectors, critics, writers, and other artists. For each new person viewing the work, this indicated a new view. The gallery gave me approximate visitor numbers to the gallery each day the work was exhibited, and I reached a viewing audience of 7,000 people. 2: Close to 7,000 people viewed my work in person in the twin cities area and approximately 15,000 people saw my social media posts of the new paintings. I received attendance numbers from the Grand Hand Gallery which showed that close to 7,000 people viewed my work.
