Artist Relief Tree

The current global health crisis is having a severe impact on arts and culture. Performances and productions have been canceled for months, causing many artists to lose economic and social stability. This organization is set up to collect donations from those of us with the means to help. We intend to support artists, particularly freelance artists, in a small way. Unfortunately we cannot hope to replace artists’ entire fees or lost work, but we wish to provide hope, make a small difference, and show solidarity with colleagues and friends. As of April 14, 2020, we have received over 3,500 requests for funds from artists around the world, have a waitlist of over 12,000 more, and have raised over US$310,000.
