The Artist Relief Trust is a coalition-led initiative to provide emergency assistance to artists who have lost work due to Coronavirus / COVID-19 and related closures and cancellations. Though applicants must demonstrate that they are working artists, there is no review of their artwork — awards are based on need.
Artist Relief Trust can help. If you’re an artist who is struggling to meet basic needs because of COVID-19, go to

Metro Louisville's official DAILY arts commissioning program: the Louisville Arts Network! Submit your idea in ANY artistic medium - music, literary arts, visual art, etc! You'll have three days to complete the project and you'll get either $150 or $200 (the extra is if you agree to present your work on Lift Up Lou's Facebook page). This is Louisville's own micro-WPA, our own mini-New Deal. Artists and creatives, let's go to work to build a better world right now!!
