Bay Area Performers

On 3/15 A Collective of artists has begun working against negative impact Coronavirus has had on the lives of performers.
GoFundMe’s ‘under review’ glitch paused the campaign. 
All over the Bay Area, events and venues are continually shutting down depriving artists of the means to make a livable wage, thrive, and produce art. Luckily we are Back Online with this GFM fundraiser!
As a community we are standing together to keep Bay Area Performers funded and on the road to producing the art we all love. 

We are reaching out to individuals, organizations, news, businesses, companies, and governments for contributions to protect the future of our art.

Let’s make a stand together!
