Applications are now CLOSED for the globalFEST Assist Fund.

ABOUT

To address the severe impact COVID has had on our community, globalFEST launched the Assist Fund in 2021 – an emergency fund open to artists and industry professionals.

Made possible by a generous grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
