Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
More Minnesotans are able to engage in or with the work of Minnesota artists.
Measurable Outcome(s)
They saw the work at Art Attack, Art-A-Whirl, First Thursdays, and at the Art Institutes International gallery. I received personal feedback at those events from the guests. The artists photographed were also engaged. They put the photographs as their Facebook pictures and have talked to me about the influence of the photographs and the opportunity to put their work with mine during Art-A-Whirl. I also have the work on my website (on the front page).
