Culture Connects Coalition

Announcing Artist Relief Fund Applications April 6

A fund to support arts and culture in all their expressions for the greater good of our community and constituents

Culture Connects Coalition is a fund to support arts and culture in all their expressions for the greater good of our community and constituents

 As our first initiative, in response to COVID-19 pandemic and to reduce its greater impact on our community, we have partnered with Lannan Foundation to form the Artist Relief Fund to help those artists most dramatically affected.

Our guidelines for relief requests are here. If you prefer Spanish, see here. Applications will be available and accepted beginning April 6. PLEASE READ THE GUIDELINES BEFORE APPLYING.

We have already gotten some wonderful press about our new initiative from Hyperallergic and Pasatiempo, as well as The Santa Fe Reporter.

Donate now to support our community. Contact Pauline Kanako Kamiyama, Director Arts and Culture Department to make your pledge now, [bot protected email address]; phone: 505.955.6653.

Thank you to the generosity of our arts community whose compassionate action will help support artists.
