Palm Beach County Artist Relief Fund

The Cultural Council created the Palm Beach County Artist Relief Fund in March 2020 to help local creative professionals who lost critical income due to COVID-19. Thanks to community members and the support of the Great Charity Challenge and The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation Fund of the Community Foundation for Palm Beach and Martin Counties, the Cultural Council raised more than $45,000, awarding small grants of $250 directly to more than 100 creative professionals (including visual artists, actors, musicians, dancers and others) living in Palm Beach County.
