Temporary Housing for Artists
In the wake of recent hurricanes, many artists have lost their homes or studio spaces due to severe flooding and damage. Touchstone is here to lend a hand by offering temporary housing in our residence halls for as many displaced artists as we can accommodate, available through March.
Located in Southwestern Pennsylvania, our serene campus provides a peaceful environment for artists to regroup and find support during this challenging time.
If you or someone you know has been affected and is seeking temporary housing, please click the link to fill out the survey or call our office at 724-329-1370 during business hours.
Stay strong, and know that help is available.
Please share and support CERF+ if you can!
