There are a couple of emerging resources for artists impacted by the COVID-19 response. The City of Seattle has a post up that outlines a couple of programs including one being managed by Artist Trust. The funding available from this program includes,

• Lost wages and earnings; 
• Loss from event, performance, and conference cancellations and school / community-based education closures 
• Reimbursement for travel loss 
• Rent and mortgage payments, food, utilities, and other living expenses 
• Medical expenses

The Artist Trust website has complete information and an application available.

Another program has been created called the Artist Relief Fund, and the application for that program is available online as well.

Almost all artists in Seattle rely on public events and performances for their work and many of them have jobs in the hospitality sector. These will be among the hardest hit people in the months ahead.
