  • Episode 38: Artist resources during "these times"
    In this episode, I share some of the resources for artists that are available to help them out during COVID-19 (there, I said it). The episode is a smidge all over the place BUT 3 things I definitely cover are: 1.) A good list for you to start with, 2.) tips on how to fill out these online applications, and 3.) documentation you may need when filling these out. I also mention CT-specific resources I found out about as well as things to be wary of when applying to any resource. Always protect your neck, my fellow artists [insert heart emoji here]. Here are links to resources mentioned in the episode: https://creative-capital.org/2020/03/13/list-of-arts-resources-during-the-covid-19-outbreak/
