The COVID-19 Arts Aid PHL program will provide up to $500 for working artists and up to $1,000 for small arts and culture organizations in Philadelphia, Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery counties. Its focus will be on Greater Philadelphia cultural organizations with budgets of $250,000 or less and working artists for whom support is urgent and vital to their survival. While initial funding is limited, grants will be made on a rolling basis as additional funding is received.
This program launches with major support from the Barra Foundation, Connelly Foundation, Lenfest Foundation and Victory Foundation as well as seed funding from the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance, the Office of Arts, Culture and the Creative Economy, and the Philadelphia Cultural Fund.
Applications will open on Monday, April 13 at 1:00 p.m. and will be accepted on a rolling basis, subject to available funds. Applicants can only submit one request to COVID-19 Arts Aid PHL but may apply for support through any other relief funding available
