How will the success of the project be measured?

We hope that the project will generate both short- and long-term momentum, with some successes more measurable than others. On the short-term, participants of the pilot project will be consulted to provide feedback on the project’s process and success (e.g. Were the artist-scientist collaborations positive and constructive? Did a wider public engage with the outputs created, and was this engagement valuable?), which we will use to further shape the project before seeking contributions from around the world. On the long-term, we hope that the artist-scientist pairs created as part of the project can foster continuing collaborations. We also hope that the Virtual Water Gallery will positively impact the work of participating scientists and artists for years following their collaboration and inspire many (viewers and participants). Perhaps the Virtual Water Gallery will inspire many to pursue a newfound passion for water through their career or advocacy!
