Possible Disaster Relief For Artists

Post #126

And now for some good news.
I got an email from Omaha Summer Arts Festival about some help for those who lost so much this year, either at this event or some other. I thought I would pass it along.

We would like to pass on two pieces of information that came to our attention after the Festival. First, for any artist that had losses severe enough to be considered career-threatening, please contact the Craft Emergency Relief Fund (CERF). While CERF generally cannot respond to all weather related claims at outdoor shows, they will certainly consider applications from those most severely hit by the storm. Please contact CERF directly at (802) 229-2306 or at Craft Emergency Relief Fund for more information.

Creative Energies from Ocala, Florida, is offering discounts up to $100 off a new canopy. Please mention your booth was damaged at the Omaha Summer Arts Festival to receive the discount. You can call (800) 351-8889 and ask for Wendy or log on to www.lightdomecanopies.com for more details.
