Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

One distinct outcome will be to introduce the local audience to the message and contemporary expression of my ideas and artwork. Another will be to draw additional interest to the wide variety of visual art offerings of the Red Wing Arts Association and to bring in other artists from Minnesota who might not otherwise take the opportunity to visit Red Wing or the Arts Association. The method I will use to measure the outcomes listed above will be to collect relevant information regarding attendance during the exhibition, at the artist talk and during the reception.

Measurable Outcome(s)

One distinct outcome was to introduce local audience to the message and contemporary expression of my ideas and artwork. Many visitors were artists who expressed an interest in trying some of my methods in their work. Another outcome was to draw additional interest to the wide variety of visual art offerings of the Red Wing Arts Association and to bring in other artists who might not otherwise take the opportunity to visit.
