COVID-19 Resources for Acadiana Artists and Arts Organizations
These are resources AcA has gathered from partner organizations and national organizations. We are compiling and sharing quickly to respond to the immediate need. We will continue to add resources from partners as we receive them. If you are looking to support the arts and culture sector in this time of need, please reach out at relief@acadianacenterforthearts.org
To add resources to this list or if you have more specific questions, please submit them to relief@AcadianaCenterfortheArts.org. AcA is continuing to work on ways of bringing significant support to the cultural economy of Acadiana.
If you are an organization or individual in the Louisiana arts field who has been impacted by COVID-19, please take a moment to complete the Louisiana Art Field Survey. This information is vital to our advocacy efforts on behalf of the sector.
AcA’s Comprehensive COVID-19 resource list continues to be updated and maintained daily of local, regional, and national links that we feel are relevant to our community of artists in Acadiana.
