As a recent college graduate who has transitioned to an emerging professional artist, my primary goal is to establish a studio space that will allow me to begin creating work at a professional level. I would like to be able to continue the skills and practices that I've learned and developed within a fully equipped academic studio setting. However, since I no longer have access to those studio spaces and equipment, I need to start building my own resources. This technology grant will allow me to continue working as a photographer, so that I can further my artistic practice and begin a career as a practicing artist. In doing so, my outcomes will include finding new venues for the display of my work--both at local galleries and by submitting to calls for art--and beginning to create some additional income from selling prints. Creating my own studio space will also allow me to experiment more within my own time frames, as I learn to balance artistic activity with other employment. 1 I will be able to evaluate these goals and outcomes by my increased output. Once I am able to create a productive studio space, I can dedicate more time to my experimental work as a photographer. I can measure my outcomes by finding a workable studio schedule and tracking how many hours per week/month I dedicate to studio work. I can also set monthly or yearly goals in responding to calls for art or in reaching out to galleries and opportunities for display. This will let me establish an early-career work ethic that I can hopefully continue into future years. Evaluation will also come through the monetary compensation from sales and through the success of participating in exhibitions.
