Call to Artists

Title: Artist Relief Grants 2021

 

To support artists still struggling during this COVID-19 crisis, the No More Starving Artists Foundation (NMSAF) has agreed to provide another round of unrestricted, emergency micro grants though ART AID.  These five $1000 micro grants will be provided to artists in Palm Beach County.
