It’s time for my fifth 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.
Americans for the Arts is a well-established organization committed to advocating for additional arts support in the United States. In the wake of COVID-19, it is going to be vital for the government to directly and indirectly support artists. We need a new WPA.
