ARTIST RESOURCES
Artists in the gig economy are taking a hit. Right now, many of the ways that artists make their money—concerts, art fairs, readings—are getting canceled. Crosshatch has developed an artist relief fund to help cover expenses for artists in the 5-county area who have seen their income impacted by coronavirus.
This fund, created by The Soze Foundation, TaskForce and Invisible Hand, supports artists + activists whose work has been impacted by COVID-19.
Emergency Artist fund for those impacted by COVID-19
Music workers in need of financial help during the crisis can apply for assistance at this volunteer-run website, which was set up to facilitate peer-to-peer giving. Applications are reviewed and posted within 24 hours, and 100% of all donations go directly to the affected person. Musicians are also urged to list their virtual concerts on the site.

The Maine Artist Relief Fund will award grants of $500 to individual artists who live in Maine and whose creative practices and incomes are being adversely impacted by the coronavirus (COVID-19). With events of all types being cancelled to reduce the spread of COVID-19, people who make income partially or fully through artist gigs, exhibits, events and freelance work are losing critical opportunities to support their well-being in our state.
