Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The goal is to develop (together with members of my artist group 4North) a body of work and a viable touring schedule for 2018 and beyond that includes exhibitions in Minnesota (at venues such as Hjemkomst in Moorhead and the Swedish Institute in Minneapolis, as well as college galleries such as Macalester in Saint Paul), and out of the state, at the Swedish Cultural Center in Chicago and the American Scandinavian Center in New York, as two examples. Outcomes will be measured by the number of exhibitions booked and the attendance at said exhibitions, as well as the extension they offer (bridges to further opportunities).

Measurable Outcome(s)

Measurable outcomes: How many pitches sent, to exhibition venues and granting agencies: 6 Shows presented: 1 (outcomes still pending on some applications), new works produced and documented: 12 A new presentation package.
