ACHF Arts Access
Produce a new body of work for first solo show, develop social practice gallery techniques via mentorship, add woodworking/sculpture to art practice. I'll develop effective ways to bring my social practice art in into the gallery context. I will be able to work with wood and basic tools by myself. Public response and direct feedback from my mentor and critique cohort will evaluate success of show. 2: Minnesotans will learn about the metro Mississippi watershed and participate in collaborative hands-on weaving, spinning and dyeing. Public walks and textile workshops will be documented by photography and video for later review. Success will be evaluated by attendance counts, the collaboratively made fiber artwork outcome, and direct verbal or written feedback from participants.
