In April we launched a non-profit initiative called The Happy Pack in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was a series of $1,200 gift packs delivered to artists and creatives who were out of work thanks to isolation and its massive effects on the creative industries.
While lockdowns are beginning to ease up, the effects on the arts have barely begun to heal. That’s why we’re going to continue The Happy Pack. Applications for delivery number two are now open!
We’re stoked to say The Happy Pack will continue beyond COVID-19! Sign up for your chance to receive a bundle full of gifts from the awesome brands we work with.
The Happy Pack was created in response to COVID-19 lockdowns when artists were out of work, stuck at home, and staring down the barrel of months in these conditions. Not to mention, the arts community has always been particularly subject to difficulties with pay, mental health, recognition, and public funding. While lockdowns have eased up, a great many people are still battling by the pandemic’s aftershock and for now, the deliveries will continue.
The Happy Pack doesn’t pretend to make up for any lost income, but it will give you something to look forward to, something to pass the time, and engage you with a community of like-minded creatives united by this crazy world order.
The last package amounted to over $1,200 worth of gifts including a USB mic from RØDE Microphones, a Fender Bluetooth speaker, a clothing voucher from Thrills, beers from Panhead Custom Ales, and heaps more. We promise delivery number two will be just as juicy.
