Oolite Arts Relief Fund
Oolite Arts, formerly known as ArtCenter/South Florida, has created a new relief fund for COVID-19, which offers up to $500 to cover lost income due to the novel Coronavirus.
After hearing and receiving news from Miami-based artists on the impact of COVID-19, which has caused the closing of exhibitions, galleries and lay-offs in the cultural community and beyond, the relief fund was initiated.
Oolite Arts founder Ellie Schneiderman envisioned this organization as a resource for visual artists, a place that would “help artists help themselves.” The fund is the latest expression of that mission. It has started with $25,000 in seed funding, by repurposing funds saved from canceled Oolite Arts programming that are now put back into local artists and the economy.
Luego de la creación del fondo de ayuda, donates adicionales se presentaron para apoyar a los artistas visuales de Miami. Como resultado, el fondo Oolite inicialmente con $ 25,000 ha crecido a más de $ 100,000, con el compromiso de la Fundación Familiar Lynn y Louis Wolfson II, con un aumento por parte de Oolite y contribuciones adicionales de la comunidad. El fondo ahora acepta donaciones, para ayudar a tantos artistas como sea posible.
