Hurricane Disaster Relief
The Southern Arts Federation is now collecting money for its Emergency Relief Fund [PDF] to assist the Gulf Coast states arts organizations and artists. This link will take you to a PDF donation form.
According to the Voices in Wartime newsletter this fund:
…collects money and sends it to the state arts councils in the region who are distributing it to individual artists who have been displaced. The state arts councils, with the help of people in the arts communities, are compiling lists of artists who are in need. If you are interested in specifically helping poets who have been displaced, some of whom have lost both their jobs and homes, just indicate on your donation form
And, by the way, when I clicked through to the Southern Arts Federation to check this out, I saw a front-page announcement that our own Gerri Combs has been named their new Executive Director. Most of us who get Kentucky Arts Council mailings already know this, but it was fun to see it, nevertheless. Our loss the gain of the greater arts community.
