Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this project the community of Fosston and surrounding areas will have opportunity to experience art in a public format and how it can be integrated within the economic community. Evaluation will occur through audience/artist questionnaires numbers of involved audiences and follow-up meetings.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The installation of public art is a vehicle that implements the use of our imagination. It is an educational tool to be used in instructing our children both about their past and what their futures can hold. It is a conduit that is used for the economic leaders of a community to converse with the artists on ways to bring economic growth through the exposure of the artist.
