Resources for artists amid COVID-19

We did the internet searching so you don’t have to.

There is so much information flying at us right now so we have tried to pull all we can into this one blog post to help serve our artist community. If you wind up on this website looking for support and information, we hope this helps.

Thanks to Arts Nova Scotia, Canada Council for the Arts, and Visual Arts Nova Scotia for also providing comprehensive lists on their sites which made building this list fairly easy.

Please reach out to us if you think we have left anything out: [email protected]
