Goal: Art exhibition of original paintings to raise awareness of the plight of street dogs and cause someone to take actionWhat are the Specifications for this goal?

Quality of the painting’s 2. Raise awareness of the issues street dogs face. 3. People taking action about the issues What Specifications can we make to test the above are successful?
Specification examples: Targets (how will I know the Specification was successful?)
