Coming Together: COVID-19 Artist Resources

Coming Together: COVID-19 Artist Resources

We are encouraged by the outpouring of support and concern for the craft community as we learn about resources for artists during these times. We have compiled a list of COVID-19 resources available for artists here. We’d love to know if you have any additional information to add, so leave a comment down below if you know of resources that may be missing. Please contact Darcy Holdorf, Programs Director, for additional artist-related questions here.

You can also check out our COVID-19 Community Resources list here, for local resources and ways to give back. We look forward to seeing you back at the Folk School.
