Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Communities will be able to view and interact with the photography exhibits and photographers.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Many people enjoyed the photography exhibits in the libraries. The Public Libraries exhibits at Elko New Market and Shakopee drew particular interest because photographs of those two libraries were included in the exhibit. The Prior Lake Library reached out to the local VFW to invite them to a special opening reception, and many veterans came with and spent time talking to the photographer, their families and each other about their experiences in Vietnam. 14 people gained photography expertise from Doug Ohman in his workshop, Developing Your Own Photography Angle.
