Americans for the Arts Office Hours with Nina Ozlu Tunicelli

Nina Ozlu Tuniceli, Executive Directors with Americans for the Arts, is hosting Office Hours: CARES Act funding for you or your arts organization

I've really valued being able to help so many nonprofit arts organizations and individual artists this week during my Zoom Office Hours on navigating how to apply for federal and state emergency relief funds as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic.

I'll be back all next week to continue my customized daily office hours Monday through Friday at 11:00am - 12:00pm ET on Zoom to better help our members, like you, to navigate the complex web of funding opportunities and deadlines related to the $2.3 trillion federal aid package in the CARES Act. Feel free to drop in so I can personally answer your specific questions! I also want to hear from you about your experience in submitting applications to the SBA, state unemployment offices, banks, and others to help me inform your colleagues nationwide, develop FAQs, and build a case for future advocacy.

Please also be sure to regularly check these websites for breaking news and updates on issues related to the impact of COVID-19 on the arts and artists.  Updates are made daily.
