10 Oct Artist Relief Resources
Though we have all suffered tremendously in the wake of Hurricane Helene, we are amazed to see the community coming together to support one another. Augusta, GA is full of incredibly strong, compassionate and creative people. We see it every day, but especially in times such as these. Though we are all trying to figure things out for the here-and-now, there are still many amazing things to look forward to in the future.
If you are in need of relief, please consider applying for FEMA assistance at www.fema.gov .
FEMA is asking all arts organizations and artists (regardless of your county) to fill out the Rapid Damage Assessment Form that applies to you to report damage and identify unmet needs.
