The PlayRight+ emergency fund, which was established almost one year and a half ago, remains in effect. For each month in which (certain of) your activities were cancelled due to the Corona pandemic, you can request financial aid. And now also for June. Submit your application RIGHT NOW!
In March 2020, PlayRight+ established the now well-known PlayRight+ emergency fund to financially support its performing artists. Since the creation of the fund, many of our affiliated artists have appealed to the fund, month after month.
In February, we announced that the emergency fund would be extended until depletion of the financial resources or until the end of the sanitary measures. If one or more of your activities as a performing artist have been cancelled, you can, thus, still apply for support. This way, PlayRight wants to offer partial compensation for your loss of income.
So, we mail you some good news: the fund is still in effect in June! Have some of your activities as a performing artist (a show, concert, recording, etc.) in June again been cancelled, still because of the pandemic? Submit your application now!
Deadline for June 2021 = 11 July 2021!
