"We give broken Angels time to mend a wing. Recourses for the time it takes to heal, pay rent & bills, after sudden illness or accident"
1. Restore Program / Urgent Assistance After Illness or Accident
Purpose: Provide rapid, short-term financial support so artists facing unexpected illness or injury can stabilize, cover essentials, and regain time for recovery.
How It Works:
-
We activate ARM’s crowdsourced funding network — including retired contact lists from our affiliates — to help artists reach sympathetic friends, patrons, and supporters.
-
We guide the artist through launching their own emergency crowdfunding request using our best-practice templates.
-
We distribute verified requests to ARM subscribers, giving the community the choice to contribute.
-
We host periodic informational events (e.g., Zoom seminars) to help artists and supporters understand how to efficiently and ethically use crowdfunding — especially as traditional institutional support declines.
When We Preserve the Art, We Preserve the Artist!
Why It’s Important: When public, institutional, or governmental grants shrink, artists often have nowhere else to turn. Restore helps fill that critical gap.
Typical Timeline: Aid often begins arriving within 72 hours of a submitted, shared crowdfunding request.
Arts Rescue Mission helps artists and their supporters share emergency crowdfunding campaigns following illness, injury, or another sudden crisis. Once a verified campaign has been created, contact us and we can distribute it to ARM’s email network of friends, patrons, collectors, and supporters. ARM does not collect, hold, or receive compensation from donated funds. Contributions go directly through the crowdfunding campaign to the bank account established by its organizer. Restore helps artists reach support quickly so they have time to heal, pay essential bills, and regain stability.
