Artist Relief Program created by
Oregon Arts Commision now open
Reprinted from The Skanner News
Oregon artists may now apply to a new Artist Relief Program created by the Oregon Arts Com- mission in partnership with The Oregon Community Foundation and the James F. and Marion L. Miller Foundation. Awards rang- ing from $1,000 to $5,000 will be distributed until the program fund, totaling just over $1.25 million, is depleted. Without our artists, there would be no art in Oregon, said Brian Rogers, executive director of the Ore- gon Arts Commission. We feel strongly that, in addition to the significant relief we were able to provide to arts and cultural orga- nizations through federal CARES Act funds allocated to the Na- tional Endowment for the Arts and the Oregon Cultural Trust, we need to offer relief funding to struggling Oregon artists as well. We are extremely grateful to The Oregon Community Foundation and the Miller Foundation for joining us in that effort. The purpose of the Artist Relief Program is to provide relief funding to Oregon artists who have experienced financial hardship during the COVID-19 pandemic due to cancellations of exhibitions, performances, rehearsals or other activities with a stipend, events, teaching opportunities, book signings or other professional presentation opportunities. Guidelines are now posted on the Arts Commis- sion website. In times of crisis,

artists help us make sense of our world and stay connected to one another, said Martha Richards, executive director of the Miller Foundation. The Miller Founda- tion stands with Oregon artists in this dicult time because we recognize the critical roles they play in our communities and our lives--they are the foundation of our states arts ecosystem. Oregon Community Founda- tion is thrilled to be a partner in this new Artist Relief program, added Jerry Tischleder, Oregon Community Foundations pro- gram icer for arts and culture. We recognize that independent and freelance artists are vital to the recovery of our communities, bringing hope and inspiration to the world while using their creativity to help process the collective trauma, grief and loss weve all experienced in these unprecedented times.
The program supports professional artists from specific disciplines who have experienced or anticipate experiencing loss of revenue of $1,000 or more between March 1 and Dec. 31, 2020.
The artistic disciplines sup- ported are: Literature (creative non-fiction, fiction, play writing and poetry); dance (including choreography); (composition and music performance); and performance art; and tradi- tional arts; visual arts (crafts, drawing, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, mixed media and new media); design arts; and media arts.
Applications are due by 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 10. Awards must be spent by July 31, 2021. Artists from underserved communities, including (but not limited to) rural communities and communities of color, as well as artists with disabilities, are espe- cially encouraged to apply. About the Oregon Arts Commission: The Oregon Arts Commission provides leader- ship, funding and arts programs through its grants, special initia- tives and services. Nine com- missioners, appointed by the Governor, determine arts needs and establish policies for pub- lic support of the arts. The Arts Commission became part of Busi- ness Oregon (formerly Oregon Economic and Community Devel- opment Department) in 1993, in recognition of the expanding role the arts play in the broader social, economic and educational arenas of Oregon communities. In 2003, the Oregon legislature moved the operations of the Oregon Cultural Trust to the Arts Commission, streamlining operations and mak- ing use of the Commissions ex- pertise in grantmaking, arts and cultural information and commu- nity cultural development. The Arts Commission is sup- ported with general funds appro- priated by the Oregon legislature and with federal funds from the National Endowment for the Arts as well as funds from the Oregon Cultural Trust. More information about the Oregon Arts Commis- sion is available online at: www. oregonartscommission.org.
