08 Jun Coming Together: COVID-19 Folklife Resources
While we continue to monitor COVID-19 updates, we have been overwhelmed by the number of resources providing assistance to folklife organizations, artists, and storytellers. We have compiled this list of COVID-19 folklife resources here so that others can continue to share their stories, crafts, and rich cultural heritage during this time. We encourage you to share this list on your websites and personal pages. If you know of other resources or ways to give back locally, please leave a comment below, and we’ll add them to the list. If you have any additional folklife questions, contact our Programs Director Darcy Holdorf here.
You can also view our Artist Resources blog here if you’d like to learn more about grant opportunities, resources, and ways to give back to the arts community at large.
