ACHF Arts Access
The artist will create and present a new body of work and facilitate a hands-on interactive public program in relationship to the exhibition. Public engagement will be measured by attendance numbers for an exhibition opening and an interactive public program around themes in my artwork. The participants will become aware of my process, the work of MWMO and the local watershed. 2: The artist will work with a Geological Information Systems analyst to manipulate new mapping data and create more technically advanced subject matter. The artist will have accumulated new knowledge and skills around river bathymetry imaging devices and LiDAR point cloud model production.
Public engagement was measured by attendance numbers for an exhibition opening and an interactive public program around themes in my artwork. Over 500 individuals attended the exhibition and event related to my work. 40 of these individuals were in attendance at the free event I led. 2: I worked with Mike Strong, GIS analyst, to create and learn new software for the creation of more technically advanced subject matter.?. I developed new skills using 3D imaging software, LiDAR point cloud model production and new art materials. This has greatly expanded my artistic practice.
