My goals are to have a successful and professional exhibition in February at the Duluth Art Institute. I hope to create 10-15 new pieces for this specific show, each representing emotions, threaded with stereotypes and angst. I feel that this event will be well attended by many people in this community and neighboring areas as well. My goal is to evoke emotion and ignite thought, and that will lead to necessary conversations. Conversations of how we see each other and ourselves, if even uncomfortable. My plan is to create work that evokes thought, then leading to conversations. After hopefully being award this particular grant, I will purchase the materials listed in my budget then creating 15 - 20 pieces. Necessary conversations which, in my opinion, would be helpful not only to this community but the surrounding ones as well. I shall have up to three comment boxes at the show, to see how successful the show was in creating conversations.
