The State of Us with Joan Morgan

Описание: “The State of Us” video series is intended to offer transparency about Artist Relief’s process, to report out some of the important findings received directly from artists applying to the fund, and to offer insight on the future of the field as a whole during this unprecedented time. Moreover, it is a platform to humanize the urgent needs that artists are facing at this moment.
