On April 7, CAA hosted an Arts Community Meeting with guest speaker Liz Shapiro, State Director of Arts, Preservation and Museums, within the Department of Economic and Community Development (DECD). Over two hundred arts administrators, artists, and advocates participated on Zoom and Facebook Live!
In addition to updates about programs and resources available through the Office of the Arts, Liz spoke about eligibility for Federal and State relief, including small business loans, unemployment benefits, and NEA funding. Liz also had words of support and encouragement for the cultural community:
Our thanks to everyone who attended and to those who submitted some excellent questions and comments for Liz to address.
