Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As one of the most-used and best-liked services offered in the city, the library is an ideal place for public art. Everyone who comes through the library's doors will have the opportunity to see the fine art installation. In addition, people will have the opportunity to watch the installation take shape and talk with the artist as she works. It is hoped that this will be an educational process as people monitor the project's progress. It will send a message to everyone who comes into the library that fine art is for everyone and is accessible to everyone. Once the project is completed, an opening reception will take place. The artist will be on hand to answer questions and mingle with community members. Those who attend will be asked to complete a questionnaire intended to gauge their reaction to the project.
