The Tri-State Relief Fund to Support Non-Salaried Workers in the Visual Arts was open to NY, CT, and NJ arts workers who have lost income opportunities due to COVID-19.
The Willem de Kooning Foundation, the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation, Teiger Foundation, and the Cy Twombly Foundation partnered to establish an emergency relief grant program to provide aid to Tri-State non-salaried workers in the visual arts who had experienced financial hardship from lack of income or opportunity as a direct result of the COVID-19 crisis. The aim of the fund was to support the behind-the-scenes arts workers whose jobs vanished, were cancelled, or postponed during lockdown.
The Tri-State Relief Fund to Support Non-Salaried Workers in the Visual Arts distributed one-time unrestricted cash grants of $2,000 to freelance, contract, or non-salaried workers in the following categories: Archivists, Art Handlers, Artist/Fine Art Photographer’s Assistants, Cataloguers, Database Specialists, Digital Assets Specialists, Image Scanners/Digitizers, Registrars, Arts Educators, Arts Publication Editors, and Arts Curators. Applicantions were open to residents of Connecticut, New Jersey, or New York who were able to show a sustained commitment to their field of visual arts work.
