An Arts Field Guide to Federal Disaster Relief  helps demystify the FEMA and SBA disaster assistance
process for artists and nonprofit arts organizations. The Field Guide was created to help demystify
federal disaster relief for the arts and culture sector by helping artists and arts organizations see what’s
available, understand clearly what isn’t available, and decide if pursuing federal aid is a good use of
time. The top programs of use to artists and arts organizations have been selected for inclusion.
