Event Report: Stop 6

Event Report: 

The success for the project for Stop 6 was realised in the day or presentation as the presence of art in a world of travel was certainly noticed. Art in a public place, as Stop 6 displayed on the Goodwill bridge, was viewed by nearly every person who travelled the bridge on that day. The public viewed and some engaged with the art. Recording wiewers was: 90% of travellers while those who stopped to engage may have only been 30%. Conversations with viewers, photography by viewers and acceptance of business cards by viewers to engage more, was very rewarding. The presence of rain showerw resulted in minor changes to where the paintingw were positioned but this did not deter from the overall effectiveness of the event.
