NORTHAMPTON Last April, as the pandemic shuttered music clubs, art galleries, and other venues, depriving myriad local artists of vital income, the city’s Arts Council opened a grant program to try and provide at least a temporary lifeline to them.
A year later, as the pandemic lingers and lost income among artists and others in the arts community is tallied, the council is opening a second round of the Artist Relief Grant program, which the group hopes to supplement with community donations.
