Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As an individual artist in the state of Minnesota I will have the opportunity to improve the quality of my art. The funds will allow me to have access to higher quality supplies that I would not have been able to purchase on my own without the funds. I can now focus on creating. My goal is to work towards becoming an established artist in the state of Minnesota. This grant is a great starting off point to create a strong body of consistent quality work that can be displayed on my newly created web portfolio. My measured outcome will be reflected on my website.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Goals - invest in quality materials, set up functioning studio, create website, build portfolio, gallery show and workshop - all of these goals were met. The path to get there was harder than anticipated, but it has given me a strong foundation.
