NWCT Artist Emergency Relief Fund - Applications Open
Apply Now
Applications are open to individual artists and small arts organizations in NWCT.
DEADLINE EXTENSION: Apply by July 15th, 2020
The NWCT Artist Relief Fund is open to artists, musicians, actors, creative professionals, and small arts organizations in Northwest CT who have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. All funds will go directly to those in need in the form of micro-grants of $250.
Eligibility:
- Artists or organizations must be residents/located in the NWCT Arts Council's service area.
- Those who have applied for our previous relief fund are still eligible to apply again through this new application.
Please share this information with any artists or arts organization that have been impacted financially by the COVID-19 outbreak. All are encouraged to apply.
The need for funding is ongoing, as the arts are anticipated to be one of the last industries to recover from the COVID-19 outbreak. To contribute to the fund, please visit Northwest Corner Gives program through the NWCT Community Foundation.
The NWCT Artist Emergency Relief Fund is made possible thanks to the Northwest Connecticut Community Foundation, the Covid-19 Rapid Response Fund, the Neighbor to Neighbor Fund of Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation, and the Torrington Savings Foundation.
