The Arts Readiness, Relief, and Recovery Grant provides $1,000 grants to artists in South Arts’ nine-state region residing in the FEMA disaster areas of Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee impacted by Hurricanes Helene and/or Milton. Artists working in craft, traditional arts, design, literary, media/film, performing arts, visual arts, and interdisciplinary/multidisciplinary arts may apply for a grant to safeguard their studios, protect their practices, and prepare for emergencies. This opportunity is open to professional artists 18 years or older whose artistic practice generates any portion of their income. This recovery grant is for individual artists only who have not received relief or recovery funding from South Arts, ArtsAVL, CERF+, or any other arts agency or organization providing financial assistance to artists impacted by Hurricane Helene or Hurricane Milton.
