Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Participate in and co-curate an exhibition at the Duluth Art Institute to reach a broad audience in the region. Measurable outcomes will be in the form of attendance over the course of the duration of the exhibition. Duluth Art Institute will keep records of attendance.

Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of the exhibition I have been interviewed twice for regional periodicals. This will increase the exposure of the Duluth Art Institute, myself and the wood turners association. I presented a lecture at the Duluth Art Institute regarding this body of work to 15 attendees. I estimate that over 300 people saw the exhibition. The Duluth Art Institute would have the actual attendance numbers.
