COVID-19 Artist Resources
We know that artists, arts organizations and arts-related businesses are facing significant financial challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The AAA along with the JDCAC are consistently reviewing local, state and national resources for information relevant to our local and regional artists. We have also provided art education resources for distance learning from home.
The AAA will continue to update this page with information available to our arts community.
