Hello ArtPlace Family!

In times of crisis it is often hard to find the resources, information, and help we need. From loss of income and cancelling of events to shifting to online meetings and more, the COVID-19 virus is affecting many artists, nonprofits, and communities across the globe. While not comprehensive, we hope the running list of resources below is a start to help mitigate/navigate the effects of the virus (whether it be financial, health, etc) going forward. 

We will continue to update these resources as we see them, and if you have one you’d like included, please email us at communications [at] artplaceamerica.org.
