Deadline: 26-Mar-21
Artist Trust has announced a new phase of COVID-19 relief funding for Washington State artists, with $100,000 available to seed funding.
Washington State artists of all disciplines who have been affected by COVID-19 financially and have not yet received funding from the Artist Trust COVID-19 Relief Fund are invited to apply, with priority given to individuals who are disproportionately affected by COVID-19, including artists from historically marginalized communities, BIPOC artists, artists who are immunocompromised, artists who identify as LGBTQ, artists with immigrant status, and artists living with or having disabilities.
Funding Information
- The Trust is able to provide at least 120 artists with $1,500 each.
Eligibility Criteria
- This funding is intended to support working artists residing in Washington State whose livelihoods have been impacted by COVID-19.
- To be eligible for this funding, you must be an individual artist, 18 years or older, and residing in Washington State at the time of the deadline, and receiving funds. You cannot be currently enrolled in a graduate or undergraduate degree program at the time of the deadline and when funds are distributed, and you cannot apply on behalf of a business, company, nonprofit, organization, community group, ensemble, collective, or a fiscally-sponsored entity. Artists who received funding from the first round of funding from The COVID-19 Artist Trust Relief Fund in 2020 are ineligible.
- Proof of residencies, such as a copy of a current Washington State Driver’s License / ID or a last month’s utility bill, is required for your payment to be processed. The address on the utility bill must match the address included in your letter of agreement and application.
