Artist Stories
CERF+ is doing so much to help artists who can’t work due to circumstances out of their control. I don’t even think that I am that special, but it makes me feel special that you think I am worth investing in, that you feel it is important for me to continue to make work.
A donation to CERF+ is an investment in an artist’s career.
Help artists like Christina get back to work after an emergency by making a gift today.
