CORONAVIRUS TOOLKIT
Due to the impact of the novel coronavirus COVID-19, education, fine arts education, and arts partnerships as we know them are being forced to adapt very quickly. We have collected some resources to help parents, fine arts instructors, and teaching artists navigate these changes. This toolkit is being updated as we become aware of new resources. You can also follow us on Facebook and Twitter for updates.
The resources on trauma-informed arts education that we previously shared during Hurricane Harvey may also be useful. They are available on our Pinterest page, which you can access here. (Some links may have expired or moved behind a paywall.)
If you would like us to share a resource not currently included, please email the link to troy@yahouston.org.
