Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, the Nemeth Art Center's guests will experience a shift in their knowledgeability of local/regional artists by offering a group show of MN and ND-based artists who either directly or indirectly address a sense of place, comfort, and resiliency. Observing artists addressing familiar concepts with a high level of craft will help validate their understanding of their environment and our current social climate. Evaluation methods include an online survey administered during and immediately after the exhibition's duration (July?September) to measure how effectively we were able to educate our audience on local and regional artists, and the type of work they're making ? particularly in the context of our current social climate.
