ACHF Arts Access
Increase Minnesota audience awareness of GLBTQ history through photography of related books. The outcomes are evaluated through: 1. overall attendance of show 2. participation in gallery talk 3. comments in guest book both positive and negative.
A wider audience was reached and people learned new aspects of Queer history and Tretter Collection. I evaluated the outcome by the number of attendees at the Pop-Up, the number of responses through two Instagram platforms, Facebook, overall expression of enthusiasm and sales.
