Financial and Other Pandemic-Related Resources for Creative Professionals
We are so grateful for the performing artists who volunteer for Bread & Roses and are the lifeblood of our organization. Due to their generous dedication to our program, we were able to bring the healing power of live music and the performing arts to over 32,718 isolated Bay Area audience members in 653 shows last year.
We are all living in greater isolation now as we shelter-in-place due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Though our daily institutional shows are on a temporary hiatus, we are committed to sharing information that is of benefit for our community and particularly our performers who are seeking additional resources during this challenging time.
