Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Minnesota artists are able to expand or further develop their artistic abilities through varied learning opportunities. Minnesota artists are able to develop business skills needed to support their professional art work. More Minnesotans are able to engage in or with the work of Minnesota artists.
Measurable Outcome(s)
I was able to work on unprecedented sized and labor intensive pieces, including a triptych dealing with the 35W bridge collapse and a families resilience during strife measuring 6'x24'. The ability to use a large studio during the time was invaluable as well as being able to focus more of my energy on directly improving my skills through work and access to resources.
