As leaders, we love to give but we often hold back because we don’t know how to do it well or we assume someone else will do it. Rob Brooksher joins us today to share how he joined others in quickly stepping up to help the artistic industry at a time when tours and shows were put on hold.

The Atlanta Artist Relief Fund is a group of artists, entertainment workers, and industry professionals founded in response to the Covid-19 crisis who seek to embody the ideals of the Ghost Light - the constant source of illumination that ensures a stage never truly goes dark. Through boots-on-the-ground efforts such as home-cooked food delivery and community outreach for artists in need, we work to keep the Atlanta arts community illuminated as well. We strive to listen to our peer's concerns, and help support them through these times of crisis.
