  Wyoming Arts Council recently announced $500 grants in support of artists affected by COVID-19. Applicants must prove income loss to be approved and the application mentioned it could take 6 weeks to receive payment. I do not know what other state arts councils are doing.

  and here's a real good one from Zapplication.org:

  Today, a consortium of funders (see list below*) announced the creation of the Artist Relief, a $10 million national emergency relief fund for artists and creative workers that will provide $5,000 no-strings-attached grants. It is intended for anyone who earns income from their creative or artistic practice and who has also been affected by COVID-19. Artists or creative workers who have been negatively impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 crisis should visit the Artist Relief webpage and funding application, which includes a COVID-19 Impact Survey for Artists and Creative Workers designed by Americans for the Arts.
