Summary:
Claimant received a grant for a particular project. In analyzing the circumstances under which claimant was working, one should start with the proposition that an artist when engaged in producing a work of art with potential sale value is, if not the employee of someone else, self-employed.
While self-employed as an artist, claimant was enabled to receive over $6,000 in subsistence and these funds were clearly provided on the basis that she would devote essentially her full time to her project. The purpose of the grant was specifically to free her from the need for full-time work.
