Artist Emergency Resources

1. CERF+ is the Craft Emergency Relief Fund, a non-profit that assists artists with natural disasters that effect their livelihood. Currently, because of the anticipated volume of requests, CERF+ is only assisting artists who have been infected with the virus and require intensive medical care.
2. The Society of North American Goldsmiths has compiled a page listing artist relief resources.
