Artists Standing Strong Together (ASST, "assist")

is a nonprofit arts organization

whose mission is to connect independent artists with resources.​​

​

We believe that by serving our community of artists, we serve our art.​​​​

​

YOU belong here.​

Welcome!

ASST stands in solidarity and love
with everyone who has been affected
by Hurricanes Helene & Milton. 

We understand this as an ongoing crisis, and we are uniquely mobilized to provide support over the long haul.

If you are a storyteller currently experiencing great need, apply for emergency financial assistance through our Storyteller Relief Fund.

If you want to bolster the SRF,
your contribution of any amount helps.
