The primary objective of this project is to produce a new body of work for a solo exhibition in November/December 2017 at Gallery 360 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This will consist of 24 quality paintings in a variety of sizes as well as an assortment of 50 small, handmade objects to accompany the exhibit. This exhibit establishes my presence at Gallery 360 and exposes my work to the Minneapolis art scene. Additional goals which support my primary objective are the allowance of time, the purchase of supplies and materials to create these paintings, travel, and catering for the event. The main evaluation of my primary objective will be through the successful exhibition of a new body of work in November/December 2017. The first goal will be measured by the purchase of supplies and materials such as wood panels, paint, gesso, brushes, varnish, hanging hardware, etc. to create this work. The next measurable goal is allowing a proper amount of time to execute this new work by October 16, 2017. Another measurable mark of success with this project will be the funding of travel along with creating and fulfilling plans for artwork transportation and delivery. Finally, my completing goal is to secure and fund catering for the night of my exhibition opening.
The actual measurable outcome of this project was the successful production of a new body of work for my solo "Chameleon" exhibit last November/December 2017 at Gallery 360 in Minneapolis, MN. I completed 24 high quality paintings in a variety of sizes as well as an assortment of 50+ unique snow globes to accompany this holiday exhibit. This exhibit further solidified my presence at Gallery 360 and exposed my work to the Minneapolis art scene. Additional outcomes were the allowance of time, the purchase of supplies and materials to create these paintings, and expenses covered for travel and catering for the event.
