Yes, viruses and earthquakes. If you're feeling secure, and have the resources, please consider donating to CERF+'s fund for earthquake victims in Puerto Rico.
If you don't know about CERF+ it is a non-profit that supports arts and is "The Artists Safety Net", providing resources for artists in need. CERF+ participated recently in the 5th Clinton Global Initiative Action Network Conference, the Flamboyan Foundation formally announced our partnership and commitment to supporting the arts and creative economy of Puerto Rico in the wake of natural disasters.
The conference, held in San Juan, Puerto Rico, earlier this month, brought together leaders from business, government, and the private sector to create opportunities for collaboration and secure commitments that advance and promote long-term recovery and resiliency in the Caribbean.
And, if you are an artist in need, CERF+ is there to help you!
Learn more here and subscribe to their newsletters which always include helpful information for you and your business in the arts: https://cerfplus.org
Here at ArtFairInsiders.com we are committed to providing resources so artists can support themselves with their art, but CERF+ also provides $$$ for those in need.

What a good idea, Richard. CERF+ has been around a long time and I never fully explored the site until today (sort of at your urging). I didn't realize all the helpful business info they had available. But then again the $$ -- my friends and I were in Puerto Rico this fall, trying to go a payback and have a great vacation (you should see those beaches, mountains, views, cities -- but especially the beaches). Now it seems we have to go back to help out again. Such a sacrifice ... and YES to CERF+.
I donate to CERF+ whenever I have a little extra "manna from Heaven".
