It’s not a secret, people — times are tough for everyone right now. Especially full-time creatives that have suddenly lost their main source of income. Artists, performers, freelancers, you name it, have been put in financial danger due to COVID-19. ⁣But, now it’s time for some good news!
 ⁣
 Earlier this week, the **Arts & Science Council** announced the **Mecklenburg Creatives Resiliency Fund** to help ease the financial burden and support our county’s creatives. The fund will provide $500 awards to creatives who have been impacted.

According to the **[ASC’s website](https://www.artsandscience.org/mecklenburg-creatives-resiliency-fund/)**, the fund will help “creative practitioners in Mecklenburg County recover from personal emergencies by helping pay an unanticipated, emergency expense or by augmenting lost income due to the cancellation of a specific, scheduled gig or opportunity (i.e. commissions, performances, contracts) due to Coronavirus/COVID-19 precautionary measures.”

If you’ve been negatively impacted and believe you qualify, we encourage you to **[apply here](https://www.artsandscience.org/mecklenburg-creatives-resiliency-fund/)**.
