Joan Mitchell Foundation - Emergency Program
The Joan Mitchell Foundation provides emergency support to artists working in the mediums of painting, sculpture, and/or drawing after natural or manmade disasters that have affected a community. Artists who have suffered losses due to catastrophic situations of this nature can apply to the Foundation for funding. Please contact the Joan Mitchell Foundation for additional information at [email protected].
The Foundation's emergency funding is specific to natural or man-made disasters. We acknowledge the tremendous need for support following personal emergencies, such as medical related expenses, however the Foundation is currently unable to provide this type of emergency funding.

The devastation from hurricane Sandy has had a major impact for the arts community. Flooding as high as 10' caused extensive damage to the Red Hook, Gowanus, and DUMBO areas. These areas are filled with ground floor art related businesses: foundries, metal shops, wood shops, fabricators, art movers, etc, who saw machinery, materials and partially completed work completely destroyed. The damage many of these art professionals have suffered will effect the whole arts community that rely on them for needed services. The insurance coverage these companies have will not be enough and other funds will all be loans for this kind of loss.
Mister ArtSee, the nation's mobile art laboratory, and the ART© group have set up an emergency relief fund for artists and art professionals who have suffered losses due to hurricane Sandy. 100% of all funds will go directly to companies and artists affected by the storm. Funds will be used directly to repair and replace needed equipment and supplies so that we can try and keep their livelihoods and services going. Mister ArtSee is a 501(c)3 arts organization and all contributions are tax deductible.
