Description

The Artists Emergency Relief Fund Network is a statewide initiative coordinated by Springboard for the Arts in partnership with Minnesota’s regional arts councils. The program delivers fast, one-time emergency financial support to artists and creative workers who are experiencing sudden hardship, such as illness, loss of housing, contract cancellation, or other disruptive events affecting their wellbeing and ability to work. Each participating regional arts council administers its own relief fund, tailoring eligibility, deadlines, and award processes to the needs of its local community. This network ensures artists across Minnesota have access to immediate financial assistance during times of crisis.
