EMERGENCY RELIEF RESOURCES FOR ARTISTS
If you are self-employed, FEMA may be able to provide funds to repair or replace disaster-damaged tools and equipment required for your job. This help is available to a wide variety of applicants, including artists, musicians, and many other occupations.
Playwrights and librettists in need of financial aid due to the impact of the wildfires in Eaton Canyon, Pacific Palisades, and the greater Los Angeles area are eligible to apply for a Dramatists Guild Crisis Relief Grant. Crisis Relief Grants are available to support housing and utilities costs, medical bills, groceries, legal fees, and other essential expenses.
MusiCares provides crisis relief, preventive care, recovery resources, and need-based financial assistance for people across all music professions. MusiCares is providing short-term disaster relief to those affected by the Los Angeles wildfires, including $1,500 in financial assistance and a $500 grocery card, to music professionals impacted. MusiCares disaster relief is intended to cover short-term costs from evacuating (hotel, food, supplies). MusiCares is also able to provide additional support for individuals with considerable impact, including medical issues, mental health support, damaged music equipment or longer-term relocation needs.
The Crew Nation Global Relief Fund is committing $1 million to assist performing musicians, live music crew, and live music industry workers affected by the recent wildfires in Los Angeles. Established by Live Nation Entertainment in 2020, Crew Nation is dedicated to aiding music community members experiencing unforeseen hardships. In response to the wildfires’ devastation across L.A. County, Crew Nation has opened applications for grants up to $5,000 for individuals currently employed within the industry facing displacement expenses due to mandatory evacuation orders, damage, or loss.
KCRW Music Relief has compiled a list of resources for musicians affected by the wildfires that includes pro-bono studio time and recording services, gear-sharing and donations, and more.
Art Noir Jar of Love gives creatives of color access to funds and resources typically not reserved for them in the mainstream art world. To date, they have distributed over $300,000 in unrestricted grants, alleviating financial burdens and empowering artists to create and thrive. These microgrants are open to artists of all kinds, including performing artists, living in Los Angeles and adjacent tribal nations.
