+ Disaster Recovery and Preparedness +

As we enter into the winter and recount the effects of last season's storms, we know firsthand that artists and arts and cultural organizations are some of the most vulnerable populations and often have difficulty accessing relief funds and services. The Maine Arts Commission is focused on improving access to resources before, during, and after disasters for the arts field.
