Fund for support of Croatian visual artists
affected by the coronavirus crisis and earthquakes

 

 

The crisis caused by the coronavirus, which has a global reach, has made it difficult and often impossible for artists in Croatia to work regularly. In addition to the global pandemic, Croatia was hit by two devastating series of powerful earthquakes that created material damage, damaged living and working spaces, work equipment and works of art.

 

The Institute for Contemporary Art from Zagreb, with the support of the Heathocte Art Foundation / FACE Croatia program and the Trust for Mutual Understanding from New York, raised funds intended to help Croatian artists who are prevented from regular work, have damaged living or working space,  due to special circumstances their usual incomes are hindered or disabled.
