    We call our project: “_Teaching Artists to Fish” _playing on the adage “you can give a person a fish and they will eat for a day. If you teach a person to fish, they will eat for a lifetime.” Artist Rescue Trust aims to help artists have sustainable income during and after COVID-19 using the power of the web. We launched ART in March 2020 as a COVID-19 direct relief program, giving $500/month for 3 months to approved artist applicants. To date we have given $1500 to 58 artists and received over 750 applications. We evaluate based on our eligibility requirements and if they meet the standard we place them in our qualified pool. Then we choose the number of grantees we can support randomly from the qualified pool.

The performing arts, especially dance, typically rely on live, in-person audiences to showcase their work and to monetize artistic creation.
