Editor’s Note: Many events are postponed in April because of the social distancing required to curb the spread of COVID-19. Please check websites for these activities prior to attending to get up-to-date information.
How to Support Local Performers
Among the groups hit hard by the social distancing requirements of a pandemic are musicians and actors who earn money with performances in front of audiences. Live streams are being set up to offer some entertainment options.
City Pages created a guide to options for support, including:
- Donate through crowdfunding sites like Patreon.
- Buy merchandise from online stores.
- Buy album downloads from Bandcamp and other sites.
- Springboard has compiled resources for artists and has expanded its emergency relief fund. Donate at springboardforthearts.org
- The Twin Cities Community Trust’s Entertainment Industry relief fund will disperse funds to members of the local music industry. twincitiesmusiccommunitytrust.org
