Applications outside of those parameters will be considered &#8220;on a case by case basis,&#8221; says the foundation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is with utmost hope that the Newport Folk and Newport Jazz Festivals will go on this summer, but in the meantime we feel the call to do more,&#8221; says festival executive producer Jay Sweet. &#8220;We are in a unique position with our foundation, where we can go above and beyond and help provide support for our musicians community while other tours and festivals are cancelling due to COVID-19. I want to be clear, this is not a fundraiser, these are funds that our Festivals Foundation already allocates to annual giving. In this dark time, we feel blessed to be able to provide some small comfort for those whose songs carry us through each day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hit the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newportfestivals.org\/musician-relief-fund\">newportfestivals.org<\/a> website for the application portal, and revisit our coverage of the 2019 Newport Folk Festival below, photographed by Matthew Shelter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-wordpress wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-vanyaland\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"fU6jkZnmQ1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vanyaland.com\/2019\/07\/29\/photo-gallery-newport-folk-festival-2019\/\">Photo Gallery: Newport Folk Festival 2019<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Photo Gallery: Newport Folk Festival 2019&#8221; &#8212; Vanyaland\" src=\"https:\/\/vanyaland.com\/2019\/07\/29\/photo-gallery-newport-folk-festival-2019\/embed\/#?secret=fU6jkZnmQ1\" data-secret=\"fU6jkZnmQ1\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It remains uncertain if there will be a Newport Folk Festival this summer, but the organization is making sure it continues to help out artists in need during the ongoing pandemic.
