Artist Emergency Fund

The Artist Emergency Fund is designed to support artists during times of critical need resulting from catastrophic and unexpected emergencies that threaten career practice. Please click HERE to view all eligibility and guidelines!

ELIGIBILITY

• To be eligible to receive funds from the AEF, applicants must be working artists who earn a majority of their income through music. 
• Eligibility is not determined by the amount of money an artist generates from their work, and we recognize that many individuals have careers that rely on multiple streams of income and financial support. 
• Applicants to the fund can come from any artistic discipline but must be able to demonstrate either income or employment through that discipline during the application process.
• We know that artists applying to the AEF are in a moment of emergency; eligibility verification is straightforward, flexible and trust based.
• Once an artist begins the application process, options for how to verify employment as an artist will be provided.
• The AEF is currently only available to practicing artists and will not accept applications from others working in the artistic ecosystem (i.e.: administrators, music industry professionals, etc.) or artists who are retired/otherwise currently not practicing.
• We do not support art practices that include hate speech or hate symbols.
