I Want to Express My Gratitude
I am deeply grateful to all who supported me during 2024. Your support made my move to New York possible, secured a disability-accessible home, and helped me start my artistic journey.
Now that I am safely and comfortably settled in—after overcoming a long series of obstacles, difficulties, and struggles in searching for a home under $2,000 that is also accessible for persons with disabilities—I am focused on developing my multidisciplinary arts in this city of endless opportunities.
At one point, I was just one click away from buying a ticket back to Croatia, nearly giving up on my dream of trying my art in New York. Thanks to my stubborness, persistence and effort, I stayed and continue to build my artistic future here.
Can You Continue Supporting Me: Can We Take This to the Next Level?
After a long and exhausting search for an accessible, barrier-free apartment in New York, I finally found a place, although it is located quite far in Queens, a 45-minute distance from Manhattan. It took an additional month to get approval for disability-accessible Access-a-ride transport since public transit remains inaccessible to me. Only recently was I able to host my workshop on voice, text, and sound improvisation ”Different Me, Different You“, and now I can finally focus on seeking theater and film agents, gallery opportunities for my paintings, and other projects I plan to pursue.
I am trying to establish a reliable support system that allows me to dedicate my energy to creating art rather than being consumed by the administration and bureaucracy.
To fully focus on my artistic work, I need to flip the current dynamic of spending 95% of my time on administration and 5% on art. Your support will help me make this shift and realize my full creative potential.
Monthly Expenses: What It Takes to Keep Me Creating in NYC
- Personal Project Assistant
A reliable assistant to handle tasks I cannot manage physically or or due to time limitations.. This includes carrying equipment, managing communications, running errands, and handling grant applications. Rates for professional assistance in New York range from $20–$30 per hour. - Workspace, Performances, and Public Engagement
Funds to cover rehearsal spaces, renting music studios, artistic materials, and opportunities to share my work with audiences, curators, art directors, and media representatives. - Memberships in Professional Databases
Subscriptions to three essential casting, audition, and art-related databases, including IMDb Pro, each costing $50 per month. These memberships are needed for accessing auditions and agents. - Acting & Accent Training
$1,000/month for acting training and accent refinement.
Join My Monthly Supporters Group
The target is $4,000/month to cover these costs. Here are examples of how contributions can add up to meet this target:
- 5 supporters donating $800 monthly
- 10 supporters donating $400 monthly
- 20 supporters donating $200 monthly
- 40 supporters donating $100 monthly
- 80 supporters donating $50 monthly
- 200 supporters donating $20 monthly
- 400 supporters donating $10 monthly
I’m bypassing crowdfunding platforms to ensure your full donation reaches me.
Recurring Monthly or One-Time Donations
Contribute via recurring bank transfers or PayPal subscriptions. With recurring support, your donations will be automatically made each month. Securing monthly support allows me to sustain and grow my artistic work in this city of endless connections and opportunities.
If monthly support isn’t feasible, one-time donations also help and are greatly appreciated.
Thank you for believing in my vision. Your support helps me focus on creating meaningful, impactful art and enables me to share it with the world. Together with you, I can make 2025 a year of artistic growth and connection.
