With the Bay Area arts scene gutted and shaken to the core by the tragic loss of life resulting from the Ghost Ship fire, numerous relief efforts have sprung up to benefit the victims and their families. For those looking to both donate money and find solace in the arts community, a series of benefit events are planned all over the Bay Area with proceeds to be donated to various Ghost Ship reliefs funds. Below is a by no means exhaustive list of some coming up.
