Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

90% of participants feel better expressing themselves through photography. Audience surveys will demonstrate that 80% of respondents were impressed with the art that they viewed. Class members will be surveyed at the start of the first session and at the end of the final class session regarding their perceptions of their ability to express themselves through photography. Teaching artists will write observations following each class session and audience members will be surveyed regarding their impressions of the members' work exhibited to the public.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The exhibit was one of our premier events for 2019 and very well-received! The invitation to FilmNorth's Marsden-Gustafson Gallery included a message of gratitude and acknowledgement -- "This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund."
