Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

To engage people who typically are intimidated by arts events held in a gallery or museum setting. Art furniture has proven to be successful at achieving this goal. As part of the project I hope to learn techniques that I can share with attendees of the capstone. The capstone event is held at an established museum and attendance is tracked. I also offer the opportunity for individual attendees to leave written feedback in a log kept by my piece of furniture.

Measurable Outcome(s)

With the access to this event being open and free to all, we were able to realize the desired outcomes of this project. People from many sectors of the community were exposed to and engaged with the work this grant funded.
