No Jobs in the Arts has transitioned from using outdated personal laptops to investing in two new high-spec laptops and external hard drives. This technology upgrade project has received £2,928.00 from the UK government, through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, with support from High Peak Borough Council.
Fundamental Change: This shift moved away from relying on inconsistent personal devices towards a standardized, reliable, and more powerful technology infrastructure.
Key Benefits:
- Enhanced Data Security: Safeguards files and project documentation with external hard drives.
- Increased Efficiency: Improves speed and efficiency of tasks like image editing and video processing.
- Improved Reliability: Minimizes downtime and ensures consistent access to essential tools.
- Protected Investment: Safeguards equipment with protective cases and insurance.
- Improved Health & Safety: Lighter laptops reduce physical strain.
- Increased Creativity: Styluses and touchscreens enable new creative approaches.
In essence, the technology upgrade has significantly improved No Jobs in the Arts’ operational efficiency, data security, and ability to support early-career visual artists.
The project was funded with High Peak SME Growth and Innovations Grant (E20), UK Shared Prosperity Funding (UKSPF), and No Jobs in the Arts CIC savings.
