WPA is now accepting applications for Wherewithal Recovery Grants from artists whose income or opportunities have been affected by the COVID-19 crisis. This emergency fund is intended to provide financial assistance for immediate needs such as rent, food, childcare, healthcare, etc. WPA launched this grant program with $60,000 in seed funding from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. 

WHO CAN APPLY?
Wherewithal Recovery Grants are available to professional visual artists, as well as moving-image/performance/sound artists with a history of presenting or performing in visual arts contexts (galleries, museums, etc.), living inside the DC-area Beltway.

HOW WILL FUNDS BE AWARDED?
Applications will be reviewed on a bi-weekly basis every other Friday, starting on Friday, April 17, with notifications sent out on the following Monday. $1,000 grants will be awarded immediately and until funds run out.

Application and details can be found at wherewithalgrants.org.
