CERF+ (The Artists Safety Net) is launching a third round of COVID-19 Relief Grants. The $1,000 grants are for artists working in craft disciplines who are facing dire circumstances due to food, housing and/or medical insecurities as a result of the ongoing pandemic. During the first two cycles of the program, 592 grants were awarded to artists in 46 states.

Deadline: Third cycle of applications will be accepted on January 13, 2021 and close on February 3, 2021.

Eligibility: Artists who create work using historically recognized craft materials such as clay, glass, textiles, wood, metal; as well as those whose work expands on these historical definitions through the incorporation of non-traditional materials, new technologies and experimental approaches.  Priority will be given to Black, Indigenous, People of Color and folk and traditional artists.
