Artist Resources During Covid-19

.
Log in to post comments

As we navigate these unprecedented times, it has become more apparent than ever how supportive the arts community can be. Several organizations have come together recently in order to embrace the spirit of lifting each other up in the midst of uncertainty. The Lamar Dodd School of Art is proud to share these opportunities with our own community and we invite you to submit news or student opportunities that you feel belong here.

 

  • Creative Capital has compiled a comprehensive list of resources for artists working in all disciplines, as well as arts philanthropists, and arts professionals that will be updated for several months. Creative Capital is anchored by a rich spirit of community and mutual generosity, and believe that continuing communication and exchange are crucial for all of us.

 

  • The National Endowment for the Arts has also created a list of organizations that are providing frequently updated news and resources for artists and arts organizations.

 

  • Artist Relief will be distributing $5,000 grants to artists facing dire financial emergencies due to COVID-19. They will also serve as an ongoing informational resource and co-launch the COVID-19 Impact Survey for Artists and Creative Workers, designed by Americans for the Arts, to better identify and address the needs of artists. The information gathered in this survey is essential to telling the story of creative workers and making sure that proper support and recovery can be facilitated throughout this global experience. For more information and to apply for assistance, click here.

 

  • CERF+ Emergency Relief Fund: Artists who have suffered from a recent, career threatening emergency, such as an illness, accident, fire or natural disaster, can apply for funding. CERF+ also has a list of resources centered around the pandemic.

 

  • In order to support teachers of art and design, along with homeschooling guardians, The School of Collaboration and Invention is calling all artists, designers, writers, students and activists to submit instructions or tasks to aid them in their efforts to adjust to the new realities of quarantine, social distancing, and remote learning. The goal is to provide a broad range of artist instructions for material experiments, performances, interventions, social practices, or other tasks, and to facilitate artistic engagement in digital and nontraditional classroom settings. Participants are invited to submit up to three files including instructions of all kinds. Files can be submitted here. 

 

  • The Willson Center is inviting proposals for Shelter Projects, a micro-fellowship program to support graduate students and community-based artists and practitioners in the creation of shareable reflections on their experience of the current pandemic through the arts and humanities. The Shelter Projects program is a partnership of the Graduate School, the UGA Arts Council, the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences, Flagpole magazine, and the Willson Center through the Office of Research. Applications will be open on a rolling basis, with ten $500 micro-fellowships offered initially and more available as funding allows. Projects must be available to share online in a rolling virtual exhibition by the Willson Center, which will be broadcast through various university communication channels and Flagpole. 

    Shelter Projects represent the responses of fellowship recipients to the experience of their current circumstances. Outcomes may include, but are not limited to:

    • a poem
    • a song
    • a journal
    • a short film
    • a sculpture
    • a drawing
    • a painting
    • a set of observations of the natural world
    • some other artistic or humanistic form

 

  • Atlanta Contemporary is offering online virtual tours of their current exhibitions in order to continue engagement with contemporary art and the local community. Museums around the world are also offering virtual tours via Google, such as the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, and the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.

 

  • The Athens Cultural Affairs Commission has announced a call for applications for Artists-In-Community Grants. 
    Awards are $1,500 each. Applications are due May 20, 2020. Learn more here. 

  • The Lyndon House Arts Center has added a resource sheet with many details of opportunities for financial and other assistance. They are also working hard on artists' behalf to bring more resources and assistance going forward. HERE is the active PDF with links.
