Databases of Arts Sector Emergency Resources
NYFASource, based at The New York Foundation for the Arts
NYFASource is the most comprehensive national listing of emergency resources for artists. The database is also a source for information about grants, awards, and programs for all artists, regardless of medium.
The Actors Fund focuses primarily on resources that are relevant to the entertainment industry (which encompasses many disciplines including acting, literary arts, and visual arts), however their emergency listings are even more broad-based.
(Under Program, select the category of Emergency Assistance you want, and under state, select either National or your state)
National Endowment for the Arts Resources for Artists, Arts Organizations, and Audiences
While not a listing of emergency resources, it does list state arts agencies and regional arts organizations as well as other resources by discipline. During emergencies, state agencies and organizations that do not normally have emergency assistance often have special emergency resources available to artists they serve.
Pew Foundation for the Arts Artists’ Resource Guide
Published in 2006 the Artists' Resource Guide is not the most comprehensive listing of resources but it has some interesting features, including the ability to create and print your own personalized listing of resources. To locate Emergency Resources, browse by category and under Emergency Assistance select your discipline
Artist Trust
Though a little daunting to navigate the Artist Trust listing of resources for artists including Emergency Preparedness & Assistance includes some resources you may not find elsewhere.
Women Arts Directory of Emergency Funds
