Artist Initiative
ACHF Arts Access
Applicant will create four new cast glass sculptures for exhibition and artist presentation at FOCI in early 2017. She will also add a casting blog to her current website. Positive outcome will be evaluated by successful exhibition of four new glass sculptures and good attendance of my FOCI gallery talk. A measurable website blog audience will prove fresh interest in new methods for casting with glass. 2: Applicant will share valuable, technical casting information with collectors and students of glass through a gallery exhibition, artist presentation and website blog. Successful outcome will be evaluated by good attendance of my 2017 FOCI Gallery exhibition and artist talk. A measurable website blog audience will indicate strong interest in new, better methods for lost wax casting with glass.
200 + Minnesotans were directly engaged in my Artist Initiative grant project. I measure the success of my outcome by attendance at my artist talk and exhibition, visits to website (blog) and page visits and social media response from various sources, including posts from FOCI - Minnesota Center for Glass Arts. 2: Sixty guests attended my event and 345 have viewed my website post of the presentation. 3,900 page visits to my website since my grant year began. Exhibition and artist talk attendance and views to my website and in particular, visits to my blog page with a detailed account of my presentation.
