NYFA announces new relief funding for Sandy artists

We are pleased to announce the arrival of additional funds for NYFA’s Emergency Relief Fund through the generous support of the Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City and the Booth Ferris Foundation.

Eligible artists can be working in any discipline, but must reside in one of the five boroughs of New York City and meet a maximum income threshold.

If you are an artist who is still suffering the impact of Hurricane Sandy, you can find complete guidelines and answers to Frequently Asked Questions at relieffund.nyfa.org. Funds are limited, so we urge artists to apply by September 15th for priority review.

Please email if you have any questions or concerns

Westbeth is supported in part by an American Rescue Plan Act grant from the National Endowment for the Arts to support general operating expenses in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
