Calls For Art 1/12/25
Brittany Taylor
January 12, 2025
Hi everyone,
I want to start off this week’s issue by addressing the devastating situation still happening in LA. I’ve created a page on the site with a list of resources, many of which are geared specifically towards artists, including emergency grants, art supply drives, and free storage space. You can find that by clicking HERE. If you have any resources you’d like me to add please email me.
Additionally, if anyone impacted by the fires has created a GoFundMe for themselves, or any other type of online fundraiser, I’d be happy to include it at the top of next week’s issue to help you get some exposure. This newsletter goes out to a little over 8k SoCal artists and I’m sure many would be willing to offer some support.
Stay safe everyone.
