Relief
funding
available
for artists
Applications are now open for
the Artist Resilience Program, a
second round of relief funding for
Oregon artists off ered by the Ore-
gon Arts Commission in partner-
ship with the Oregon Community
Foundation and the James F. and
Marion L. Miller Foundation.
The partnership, which began
with 2020’s Artist Relief Pro-
gram, invests another $1.5 mil-
lion in support for artists’ recov-
ery from the pandemic.
Awards will generally range
from $1,000 to $5,000 and will
be determined by a peer review
panel. A geographic distribution
model will ensure that applicants
from across Oregon are sup-
ported. Applications are due by
5 p.m. on Feb. 10.
The purpose of the program
is to provide relief funding to
Oregon artists who have experi-
enced fi nancial hardship during
the COVID-19 pandemic due to
cancellations of exhibitions, per-
formances, rehearsals or other
activities with a stipend, events,
teaching opportunities, book sign-
ings or other professional presen-
tation opportunities. Guidelines
are available on the Arts Com-
mission website.
The program supports pro-
fessional artists from specifi c
disciplines who have experi-
enced or anticipate experienc-
ing loss of revenue of $1,000 or
more between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31,
2021.
The artistic disciplines sup-
ported are: literature, dance,
music, theater and performance
art, visual arts, design arts, folk
and traditional arts and media arts.
Artists from underserved com-
munities, including rural commu-
nities and communities of color,
as well as artists with disabilities,
are encouraged to apply.
