Project Grant
ACHF Arts Access
We know the public enjoys exposure to rotating art in our public spaces, but our measurable outcome would be for the displayed local artists to experience sales of their art from these public displays. The stipend is meant to offset the time and expense of the artists for setup and takedown of the displays. Our goal is for each rotating artist to sell at least one piece of art from their public display. The City of Sartell contracts with Paramount Visual Arts to select artists and coordinate the rotations. They survey the artists about the sales or feedback they receive from the display at City Hall so we will have measurable results on art sales. Melissa Gohman will simply ask each rotating artist about their sales when their display time period is over.
Our outcome of artist exposure was met by exposure to a new market - more people were introduced to each artist via the walk-in traffic to City Hall, which could lead to future sales. As a direct result of the City Hall exposure, Chuck Norwood sold two works during his rotation, and high school student Claire Miller experienced her first solo showing of her work.
