HoCo Artists Impacted By Coronavirus Can Apply For Assistance

HOWARD COUNTY, MD — In light of the new coronavirus pandemic, the Howard County Arts Council has established the Howard County Artist Relief Fund to help independent artists whose income has been adversely impacted by the virus.

The purpose of this fund is to assist artists who make income partially or fully through gigs and freelance work and are losing their income and ability to support themselves and their families as a result of events being canceled due to the new coronavirus pandemic. The artist relief fund will assist artists who apply and are approved for assistance with small, expedited grants of up to $250. At this time, due to the limited amount of relief funds available, each artist is limited to one grant request.

The Howard County Artist Relief Fund will be open on a rolling basis until available funds are fully allocated. To apply, visit here.
