Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The Goals for this project are twofold: Goal 1: Improve the quality of my work sample used in applications to Museums and Shows. I will do this by building two new pieces that reflect more accurately what I am capable of producing. Goal 2: Increase the visibility of my work to a larger regional and national audience. I will apply to the Smithsonian Craft Show and initiate the process for exhibitions at regional Museums. Evaluation will be applied to each of the 2 goals on an individual basis. Goal 1: Completion of the two pieces and subsequent peer review of the success and quality of each of the new pieces. I have a network of fellow artists that engage in this kind of feedback. Goal 2: Success will be measured in how quickly there is a response from museums and shows. Enthusiastic response will indicate if my thoughts about improving my work sample were accurate. Acceptance by the Smithsonian Jury will confirm the improvement of the work sample.
