Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

This application is to secure funding to have my artwork professionally scanned and for my labor to update my website. My goal is to have the best images possible of my artwork for marketing purposes, my website, artist's talks and exhibition opportunities. The immediate measurable outcome will be a portfolio of high quality images of my artwork and their use on my improved website, followed by having high quality images as needed for promotional materials or calls for entry into various exhibitions. I will evaluate the outcome by comparing the before and after appearance of my website and convenience of having images ready as needed for promotional materials or exhibition opportunities.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Professional looking website. karennease.com. High quality, high resolution images to use for exhibition opportunities and promotion.
