1) I will purchase ARAC funded art supplies which are listed in my budget. 2) I will follow my work plan for the grant season, which is as follows: October: Research November: Purchase supplies and equipment needed to complete my project. December: Begin creating by starting with the three earring options and two necklaces. January: Continue working on my collection by creating my arm and hand pieces. February: Take pictures of my collection, work on how I will display my collection in future pop up markets. 3) Following my workplan, I will create 10 pieces in my mini series jewelry collection called "Spirit of She" in preparation for a future exhibit or sale in Duluth. I will know I have successfully completed my project by following my workplan as I have listed above. I will utilize the purchased supplies and materials needed with grant funding in the grant season. I will file a final report with ARAC by the end of the grant season, reporting on this experience and its impact on my platform as an emerging artist. I will have 10 completed pieces ready for sale by June 1st 2022.
