Benefits of the Arts to Health and Well-being
*Given Covid, we do recommend for group functions, at this point, you engage in social distancing at events, and use hand sanitizer, as well as masks when needed or appropriate (given different research on the use of masks, this area is left up to individual groups and organizations etc given risks of the use of masks etc, and not using masks….we also recommend anyone who has COVID or has signs of COVID to self-quarantine and attend an event virtually instead of in-person). We will offer a Separate publication for our recommendations of small and large events etc.. and what can be done by arts groups at this time to continue to engage in the arts, and have the arts present in the community.
