How We Can Support Artists Right Now

Fri March 20, 2020
Each day is wildly different from the last. It’s hard to keep up with the changing protocols, closures and cancellations —and it’s even more difficult to wrap our heads around how quickly COVID-19 is spreading, affecting lives, and what can be done. We put together a guide with several resources to help support artists & the music community during this time.
What can we do as fans, listeners, and supporters to help our favorite artists stay afloat during this pandemic?

Buy Merch

There’s no better time to add to your collection of CDs, tapes, and LPs. Get some new cozy band tees to wear at home with your sweats. These things directly support the artist during this time – and don’t forget to purchase directly from bands rather than third party retailers!

Musicians and live performers generate most of their income by touring. If you bought tickets to a live performance that has been canceled, check with the artist to see if they’re doing any virtual performances. Consider offering the amount you would have paid for a live performance to purchase  anything that the artist offers online.

Bandcamp

Bandcamp will be waiving their revenue share on sales this Friday, March 20th and asking the community to get behind this initiative by purchasing songs from their favorite artists. All proceeds will go directly to the musicians. You can read more about Bandcamp’s initiative here.

Tune Into Online Content

And Attend Virtual Events – Cherie Hu has compiled a virtual music events directory  that lists existing and upcoming events, explains how to hold your own virtual events and also links to emergency funds for artists affected by COVID-19’s impact on the music industry.

Additionally, in the coming weeks, our friends at Dublab intend to utilize their online radio platform to share resources and initiatives that will aid artists and local community members who have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Plus tons of continued music programming to tune into while you’re working from home.

Artists around the world have started streaming live performances online – show your support here too!

Share The Music You’re Listening To

Word of mouth goes a long way and is extremely valuable during a time when we’re all locked in online. Share music on all social platforms to give musicians extra visibility (especially if they had a show cancel recently). Plus you’re sharing new amazing music with your friends and followers who may not have heard of them otherwise!

Fundraising & Crowdfunding Campaigns

Check to see if a local business, venue, or artist is fundraising online right now. Whether it’s Patreon, GoFundMe or Kickstarter, contributing to these campaigns is a great way to show your support.

Freelance Artists & Covid-19

This resource list was compiled with freelance artists (ranging from visual arts to music, to film, and beyond) in mind. Here you’ll find links relating to advocacy, emergency funding, and so much more. Click here for more information. Stay healthy, stay home, stay informed, stay involved.

Sending everyone our love.
