ACHF Arts Access
I will develop my artistic skills by combining my fine art skills with my social practice work to make a project that will both be shown in a gallery. The outcome will be evaluated by having a show, PR generated by the show and written reviews by those who attend the workshop I give. 2: During this grant period I will increase sales of prints and books. This will be evaluated by comparing sales from the last two years against the current grant year.
I combined my fine art and social practice skill in one meaningful project. I am still evaluating the external results but internally I have shifted how I think about doing social projects, bringing in all of my skills. 2: I have not sold any prints yet but they are still up and hope to have them in other shows. I have not traditionally sold work but just sold my consulting skills. This project is adding a new revenue stream.
