Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

My goal is to have up-to-date, workable equipment. With this equipment I can continue using technology for my art making and career. To reach my goal I have researched and identified the items that will replace my old, outdated units. With the support of the grant, I will purchase the equipment and software needed. When it is delivered I'll have it installed in my studio. Then I will use this technology in the many ways that I have identified in my narrative. And I will recycle the old equipment in an environmentally responsible manner. The outcome will be the equipment and software (listed in the narrative) purchased and installed for use in my studio. This can be evaluated by the receipts for the purchases. If necessary I will supply photos of my studio with the equipment in place.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The equipment has been purchased and installed. It is in use every day.
