COVID-19 Relief & Resources for Artists and Designers

In the midst of navigating a new professional and social life in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, artists and designers my experience either a seeming dearth or overwhelming abundance of resources that have been made available to provide financial relief and opportunities during this uncertain time period. Below I have compiled a roundup of resources and lists that have been sent my way, as I would like to help ensure these expand to reach those who might need them most. Please leave in the comments additional resources that you’ve engaged, and I will be sure to share them as well.
