To reach new audiences for my artworks and to connect with other artists for future collaborations and opportunities. This will be achieved if I am able to draw an audience for my solo exhibition, and if I am able to connect with filmmakers and musicians at the two festivals that I plan to attend. I would consider the activity successful if I am able to draw an audience of at least 40 for my solo film screening, and if I can exchange contact information and make connections with at least ten fellow artists at each of the two festivals. It is also my goal to sell $250 worth of prints and artwork.
2500 audience members for my video installations, 10 participants in my workshop, 80 audience members for my solo exhibition.
