Project Overview
Technology/Equipment Grant for Individual Artist
Project Details
I am applying for funding to purchase a new laptop computer. All of my work as a writer is done on a computer. Currently, I am sharing a laptop with my family. As my career as an artist grows, it is becoming increasingly difficult to work effectively with one laptop in the house. Owning a computer that is dedicated solely to my writing would be of great benefit to my career.
