Creative Response Relief Fund is once again taking applications. New Orleans area artists of all disciplines can apply for $1,500 in support. The deadline for this round of applications is August 10th.

The relief fund is supported by Antenna, Ashé Cultural Arts Center, Junebug Productions, the Andy Warhol Foundation for Visual Arts, The Weavers Fellowship, United Way/BET, Family Independence Initiative, RosaMary Foundation, and now additional support from The Joan Mitchell Foundation and The Greater New Orleans Foundation.

To qualify, creators must:

Be a practicing artist of any discipline (culture bearer, filmmaker, painter, performer, photographer, sculptor, writer, etc), with a demonstrated body of work and a clear commitment to an ongoing creative practice.

Have lived and worked in the greater New Orleans metro area for at least 12 months, and be at least 21 years of age or older.

You must rely primarily on income from your creative practice, and must communicate a significant or dire need as a result of the pandemic, which could include funding to cover necessary living expenses such as food, housing, utilities, medical costs, or family care.

Have not already received a Creative Response Relief Grant. Because of the overwhelming need within the community, we cannot provide more than a single award to a creator.

If you applied during the previous application period and were not awarded, PLEASE DO NOT REAPPLY. We will reopen all previous applications that are eligible, so you can update your application information, and we encourage you to provide more details about your current circumstances.

Black, Indigenous, people of color, women, LGBTQ+, and immigrant artists are strongly encouraged to apply.
