Support Austin Artists in Crisis: Give to the Artist Emergency Fund this Giving Tuesday!
This Giving Tuesday, we’re coming together to raise critical funds for the Artists’ Emergency Fund, a resource designed to help Austin’s creatives during times of unexpected financial crisis.
Austin artists face unique challenges – from the rising cost of living to the instability of gig-based work – and an emergency like a medical bill or loss of housing can threaten their ability to create. These challenges are only compounded for artists of color and LGBTQ+ artists because these communities face discrimination because of their identities. By donating, you’ll be providing a lifeline to local artists, ensuring that their work can continue to enrich our community.
Be A Lifeline for Local Creatives When They Need It Most!
