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.

 Last
year we were only able to award two of three grants who qualified.  Because of this, we were able to roll the
remaining funds into another grant program and award a greater dollar amount to
more artists.
