Artist Emergency Relief Fund Available for Gig-Artists A new Artist Emergency Relief Fund was initiated by representatives of a special consortium of local arts non-profits, who met to discuss the impact of Covid-19 and its negative effect upon local Gig-Artists, contracted, or self-employed artists of all disciplines including visual, musical, literary, performance, etc. The grants will allow artists to recover income lost due to the cancellation of a specified scheduled gig... or business opportunity (commission, performance, contract) due to mandated Coronavirus/COVID-19 precautionary measures. Artists are encouraged to apply for up to $500 compensation for work that was scheduled and lost, due to Covid-19 shutdowns. The Community Foundation of the CSRA has awarded the consortium a COVID-19 Emergency Grant in the amount of $50,000 to support local ‘gig-artists’ or contract artists who have suffered financial setbacks due to the Coronavirus quarantine. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. All applications submitted prior to 2:00 pm each Wednesday will be reviewed the following day. If approved, a check will be issued that Friday.

Juxtaposing 90’s cultural references with Baroque styling, Aaron enjoys displaying these characters in a more serious portraiture tone.
