Project Overview

This program is a series of video recordings of The Fake: Adventures of the Cheshire Cat in Wanderland, a pun-filled cat adventure story about an artist's angst of wanting to become accomplished while also wishing for fame and fortune, accompanied by images inspired by the story. The story is narrated by the author with images created by Immersion of Art and Story, a collective of four artists including the author.

Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

- Appreciation of art and artistic community.
- Opportunity for Minnesota artists to display their work and talk about it with patrons.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We were able to share the work of these Minnesota artists with our patrons and give them insight into the artistic process. Positive attendee comments included: "Loved hearing from both the author and the artists about the process of creating this exhibit. Amazing how much work and thought and creativity go in to a project like this! Also, the discussion filled out so much about the story and images - way more than just going and seeing the exhibit would have been - it really is very complex."
