Resources for Artists and Organizations

4/22/2021

Orange County Arts Council will repost resources and links provided by the arts and cultural sector from time to time on this list. If you have a proposed resource, please share with us by emailing info@ocartscouncil.org

We know that navigating applications and funding sources during this time can be challenging. We offer Orange County Residents caller the option for support with half-hour free phone consultations.

Virtual satellite office consultations appointments are available every Friday from 1:00-5:00 pm for Orange County residents.

Time slots for consultations must be reserved in advance.

FCA Emergency Grants – The Foundation will disburse one-time $1,500 grants. FCA will continue to focus its support on artists making work of a contemporary, experimental nature. If you are unsure about whether your work is experimental, you can see other artists we have supported on their Instagram and website. Relief will be provided to artists who can demonstrate that they have had an engagement canceled or postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
