Dear MFTA Members,
The COVID-19 pandemic has posed a great challenge for the NYC arts and cultural community and nonprofits. As a response to these difficult times, many of you have redesigned your programming for online platforms and virtual spaces. Materials for the Arts is proud to support your innovative work during this time, and we want to document and highlight your ingenuity.
If you have stories and pictures of your activities during COVID-19, please send them to us so we can share your programs on our social media platforms, in publications, with material donors, and other recipients. Show us your online and outdoor performances, virtual exhibitions, in-home sets, homemade costumes, PPE and mask-making initiatives, and other creative projects.
Even during these difficult times, NYC continues to be the epicenter for arts and culture. That’s why we’re inviting you, the members of our community, to share your work and help tell this story.
