More Arts Information and Resources During the COVID-19 Virus Pandemic

To support artists during the COVID-19 crisis, a coalition of national arts grantmakers have come together to create an emergency initiative to offer financial and informational resources to artists across the United States. Artist Relief will distribute $5,000 grants to artists facing dire financial emergencies due to COVID-19 and serve as an ongoing informational resource. The organization is also co-sponsoring a survey, along with the Americans for the Arts, to gather information about the impact of this pandemic on artists and creative workers.

To be eligible for a relief grant, applicants must be practicing artists able to demonstrate a sustained commitment to their work, careers, and a public audience; experiencing dire financial emergencies due to the COVID-19 pandemic; and 21 years of age or older. Additional requirements and more information can be found by clicking here.
