It’s time for my fourth Flash Mob Friday! Gigging musicians and artists have been and will continue to be disproportionately hit by the COVID-19 closings, so each Friday I’m going to point you towards a musician, artist, or organization I think is worth your support. It’s my hope that together we can support artists at a time of great need.
The only rule for participation is that you can’t give disproportionately, either. It’s about the community coming together to support artists, not about any one person being a benefactor.
This week I kept it simple: Artist Relief Tree is providing $250 micro loans to artists in need. I learned about their project through this website curated by Rhiannon Giddens with Amanda Palmer and Neil Gaiman. It’s full of great projects you can support to help artists in these difficult times.
