Traditional Artist & Culture Bearer Emergency Relief Fund
COVID-19 has revealed deep vulnerabilities within many of those we serve. To provide direct support to these artists and culture/heritage practitioners, we launched the Traditional Artist & Culture Bearer Emergency Relief Fund with support from the Arizona Commission on the Arts and individual donors, including over $5000 from community members on Arizona Gives Day in April 2021. We are primarily funding traditional artists and culture bearers between 40 and 65+ years of age, who are living in remote or historically marginalized neighborhoods in Arizona.
