The present crisis gives us all a chance to repair vulnerabilities in access—to arts events through virtual and physical spaces, and to the benefits of the arts economy. The Art Center is deeply concerned about how our local districts and those around the state are dealing with the challenges of meeting the needs of all students during the pandemic. We know that the expansion of arts education to all children engages learners of all ages while helping to buffer and interrupt at risk trajectories.

The SCA will provide “Connected” a series of pre-recorded educational conversations via Vimeo with companion activities to educators for use in classrooms or at-home learning.
