Artist Rights Alliance COVID-19 Resource List
Artist Rights Alliance is an artist-run, non-profit advocating for musicians, performers, and songwriters in the digital landscape.
Dear Music Creators and Creator Allies,
During the uncertainty and unprecedented changes taking place amid this global pandemic, the Artist Rights Alliance is experiencing the sense of loss and confusion alongside you. While there is no roadmap in this uncharted territory, we want to be a resource to you in these difficult times.
We have compiled a list* of organizations providing emergency financial aid specific to our profession, as well as medical and mental health resources, other ways to earn, and projects for your free time. We will continue to keep this list updated as more resources become available.
We are and will continue to be involved and deeply committed to our advocacy work for music creators. Please let us know if there is any way we can be of assistance. If you have additional resources we should add to this list, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
We stand alongside you during this incredibly challenging time and will continue to advocate on your behalf.
We have your back.
