Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Citizens of Minnesota, with an emphasis on school children, will be able to engage with the work through a traveling exhibition at public libraries. Success will be achieved if the work is shown in a wide range of libraries in the state (both metro area and greater Minnesota) and by the number of school groups that are able to visit the exhibition.
Measurable Outcome(s)
I feel that I achieved my goals to a high degree. I have given public lectures on my project and the process used to complete it, these lectures have been at camera clubs and schools. I've shown the work at public libraries around the Twin Cities, and I am currently in the process of finalizing a Solo Exhibition at Augsburg College.
