Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

To complete a new series of large-scale paintings and exhibit the work in a public gallery setting. I will complete my travel for photographic materials, purchase materials and equipment, learn Photoshop, complete my project, hire a photographer to take professional photographs, rent a U-Haul to transport work to my exhibition. 2: I will have an exhibition at the Soeffker Gallery at Hamline University in Summer 2016. This is gallery is open to the public and promotional information will be provided by the gallery. Minnesotans will be able to engage with my work in this exhibition.

Measurable Outcome(s)

I created new paintings that were exhibited in public galleries, developed new printmaking skills and connections with artists and organizations. I developed a schedule to accomplish my tasks. I had to systematically plan beginning with attaining the materials and equipment I needed to create the work and then facilitate the transport to deliver the work to my exhibitions. The other activities including photo documentation and printmaking class activities were conducted while the exhibitions were occurring in 2016. 2: I was able to create new work and exhibit my work in galleries. I participated in the exhibitions and attended the opening at the Hutchinson Center for the Arts. The exhibitions were open to the public for extended periods of time in 2016.
