The primary goal of this project is to install an interdisciplinary exhibit of photography and prose poetry at the Lyric Center for the Arts in Virginia, Minnesota. Measurable outcomes include the following: - The co-collaborators will successfully bring a joint project to fruition in a well-suited physical space. - The artist and writer will complete a series of pieces that capture the dynamic of a shared creative process. - 20 or more creative pieces will be printed, mounted, and displayed in a professional, innovative, and aesthetically pleasing format and layout. - 300 or more audience members will interact with the exhibit and learn about ekphrasis (drawing on one art form for inspiration while creating in another) and the relationship between art forms. The project will be evaluated using the following methods: - Collection of evaluation forms that capture audience response and feedback on quality and effectiveness of exhibit - Feedback from Lyric Center staff and other experts on quality and effectiveness of exhibit - Consideration of original ekphrastic creations by audience members (Is cross-disciplinary engagement and experimentation evident?) Quantitative measures include the following: - The exhibit is successfully installed by the July 5 opening date. - The exhibit is available to the audience from July 5-28. - 20 or more creative pieces are printed, mounted, and displayed in a professional, innovative, and aesthetically pleasing format and layout. - 300 or more audience members interact with the exhibit.
