Ben Markley has written and arranged a piece for big band (video recording below) with people from Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas, Utah, and New York with the goal to raise awareness and funds during the Covid-19 pandemic for these artists:
1) Wyoming Artists Alliance - State/Local
https://wyomingarts.org/donate-to-the-individual-artist-covid-19-support-grant/
2) Artist Relief Fund - National
www.artistrelief.org
These two organizations have Covid-19 relief funds for artists. Ben Markley personally worked with the WAA to establish this fund. The Artist Relief Fund (#2) is backed by some of the most reputable non-profits in the nation and has been vetted by our friends at the Wyoming Arts Council.
