Artists across the country are being impacted by the COVID-19 crisis every day, but are often left out of traditional relief efforts. In dark times, we all turn to art for light. Now we have a chance to return the favor.

On June 4th, a group of passionate organizers will be hosting a virtual art show to celebrate the arts and give back to artists impacted by the pandemic. Although the event itself will be free, we are asking for a suggested donation of any amount that will go directly to impacted artists. The funds raised will go to the following artist relief funds doing great work to support artists across the country: Artist Relief Fund and the Arts and Cultures Leaders of Color Emergency Fund. To learn more about these funds please see the information provided below. 

Please join us in supporting our creative neighbors in this critical time, and give what you can!
