Artist – An individual who practices one of the fine, design, graphic, musical, culinary, literary, computer or performing arts; or an individual whose profession relies on the application of the above-mentioned skills to produce a unique creative product; i.e., an architect, craftsperson, teacher of art, music, dance, chef, photographer, etc. All these creative products are defined as “art”.

  1. Application Form (refer to website for downloadable form).
  2. An explanation of how the loft will be used to produce your creative product. Include your current plans and your one-to-five-year goals for producing your “art” and exhibiting/presenting/selling it to the public.
