Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The artist will have a public exhibition to showcase a new series of work. By the number of attendees to the public exhibition over the course of the month that the show runs. 2: The artist will meet a curator consistently throughout the project year to develop an essay for the exhibition catalog. An exhibition catalog will be produced and disseminated at the opening as well as available online on her website.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The actual achieved outcome of this event was that I had a public exhibition. To determine the outcomes of this project, the number of attendees were counted at each event and during the month the exhibition ran. 2: Both outcomes were met. I matured and grew as an artist through meeting with a curator for the duration of the grant and I made work that helped produce an amazing exhibition catalog. I finished the work and exhibited it publicly and an exhibition catalog was produced. We decided not to place it on my website but to email it out to specific contacts as a more effective way to reach people.
