Resources

No matter the amount of hard work, dedication, and commitment to a business ethic one pours into their craft, there are countless obstacles that can get in the way of succeeding professionally or personally. It is important to have a community of people who support you to fall back on if times get tough; for many artists, that is their life line. As a reminder, struggling alone does not strengthen your artistic skills and reaching out for help doesn’t prove you weaker than those who do not. Attached below is a list of Emergency Grants and Resources for Artists compiled by the New York Foundation for the Arts. If you find your needs are not covered, research foundations and grants for artists local to you. If you are struggling with mental health, you can find a list of crisis lines provided by the American Psychological Association  here.
