The grant money I received has impacted my art career more than I ever could have expected. I created a interactive public art project that I installed in temporary locations in Fairfax county and the DC metro area. I had over 1000 participants in the artwork, and the project resulted in three gallery exhibitions and one museum show in Washington, DC. It also led to a commission for a new temporary public work in Baltimore. I can't thank the Arts Council enough for helping me further my work and expanding the visibility and enjoyment of art in the public eye.
