Art Community Support and Resource Center
As we all learn to live with the realities of the COVID-19 crisis, we are staying home, quarantining, and finding new ways to support and connect with our friends and family. As artists, we are also looking for ways to maintain our creativity in stressful times, find inspiration at home, and financially and emotionally care for our families and ourselves. In the next weeks and months, Artists Network is bringing together a regularly updated list of supportive resources for the artist community to help navigate these special circumstances.
Support for Artists and Creatives
From fiscal to mental health, here are resources for financial support, self-care, productivity, and more.
